Then she meets a man [respected man: sir, gentleman, etc.], on a horse with a bushy mane. He says: "I am a man of the king, so I take what I want. And you are much too beautiful, to not have a man. Come with me into the forest and I will show you what I can do [show what I can]."

Här kommer kung av sand. Här kommer kungen av ingenting alls.

1995, Per Gessle, “Kung av sand [King of sand]”performed by Gyllene Tider:

Here comes king of sand [sic – sounds like a proper noun or other lexicalized phrase, like in English]. Here comes the king of nothing at all.

Jag är kung över ängarna. Springer utan keps och skor. Dansar och tar ut svängarna. Ropar glatt åt mina kor. Jag är kung över ängarna. Jag skriker högt så folk förstår: Här är en av drängarna. Solen lyser där jag går.

1996, Drängarna [The Farmhands], “Kung över ängarna [King of [over] the Meadows]”, in Fint vettö [vettu] [Nice Y'know]:

I am king of the meadows. [I] run without a cap and shoes. [I] dance and take sweeping turns ["take out the turns" – also used figuratively for not holding back, letting loose, and the like]. [I] shout merrily at my cows. I am king of the meadows. I scream out loud so that people understand: Here's one of the farmhands. The sun shines where I walk.

Så nådde man fram till en liten uteservering, där det satt en hel del folk. De flesta såg ut som om de hade rest upp till Stockholm från Nässjö och Borås för att opereras och se Hagasessorna åka med Tuff-tuff-tåget från Djurgårdsbron. Och mellan borden gick två påfåglar, den ena vackrare än den andra.

1953, Kar de Mumma, Josefine och hennes bröder., page 29:

At last, one arrived at a small outdoor café, where quite a number of people were seated. Most of them looked as though they'd traveled up to Stockholm from Nässjö and Borås, perhaps for surgery and to catch a glimpse of the Haga Princesses riding the Choo-choo Train from The Djurgården Bridge. And between the tables strolled two peacocks, each more splendid than the other.

Det var för några år sedan som vi skulle åka hit med min mans blåa Amazon. Och då fick vi ett ryck - "ska vi inte klä ut oss?". Och sedan dess har vi kommit hit som Hagasessorna, säger Kerstin Svensson.

2011 June 19, Laura Zurman, “Trädgårdsdag bland kryddor och perenner [A garden day among herbs and perennials]”, in Hallands Nyheter:

It was a few years ago when we were supposed to come here in my husband's blue Amazon. And then we got a sudden idea – "Shouldn't we dress up?" And ever since, we've come here as the Haga Princesses, says Kerstin Svensson.

Minnet fanns kvar och när prinsessan Estelle här om dagen fyllde år och lekte i snön som en "Hagasessa" så hade hon en egen Malungspäls, designad och tillverkad av Malungsskinnaren Täpp Lars.

2015 February 26, Anders Mojanis, “Prinsessan i Malungspäls [The Princess in a Malung Fur Coat]”, in Dala-Demokraten:

The memory lingered, and when Princess Estelle celebrated her birthday the other day and played in the snow like a "Haga Princess," she wore her own Malung fur coat, designed and crafted by Malung artisan Täpp Lars.

Där brukar vi också se prinsessan Christina med sin Tord Magnuson, hon är ju den Hagasessa som bor i Stockholm, och är en självklar gäst på såna här kungliga tillställningar.

2024 January 31, Natalie Mourad, “Kungens syster smög in på festen på slottet – så lyckades hon lura alla [The king's sister snuck into the party at the castle – this is how she managed to fool everyone]”, in Svensk Damtidning:

We usually also see Princess Christina with her Tord Magnuson there; she is the Haga Princess who lives in Stockholm and is a natural guest at these kinds of royal events.

(Monarchy, colloquial) Any of the older sisters to King Carl XVI Gustaf; specifically Princess Margaretha, Princess Birgitta, Princess Désirée, and Princess Christina; or anyone who resembles them in some way.
