man

det man inte har i huvudet får man ha i benen

För länge, länge sen såg inte världen ut som nu. Man levde inte alls på samma sätt som jag och du. Man hade ständiga problem med sin kommunikation. För att göra sig hörd var man tvungen att ta ton. Man siktade mot mål, men man träffade bredvid, för inget var exakt i en fördatorisk tid. Man sände sina dokument med män i uniform, som färdades på snö och is i hällregn och storm. Man köpte sina tjänster med papper och metall – ett besynnerligt system som fick imperier på fall. Man sa att grunden var solid, men staten kom på glid, för system var instabila i en fördatorisk tid. Tiderna förändras. Andra ska ta vid. Sanningar föråldras. De formas av sin egen tid. Man byggde stora städer där man trängdes med varann – där man omgav sig med dån och larm och stod i rök och damm. Man sökte efter ledare med styrka och förstånd, som skulle föra folket bort från krig och undergång. En roll alltför komplex för en enda individ, så inget blev beständigt i en fördatorisk tid. Tiderna förändras. Andra ska ta vid. Sanningar föråldras. Man formas av sin egen tid. Man måste stiga upp varje vardag klockan fem, för att stå vid en maskin tills det blev kväll och man gick hem. Man levde under hot, på gränsen till panik, så man sökte efter sanningen i stjärnornas mystik. Man talade om fred, men man låg i ständig strid, för man förlitade sig på människan i fördatorisk tid.

1984, Adolphson & Falk (lyrics and music), “I fördatorisk tid [In pre-computer times [Literally, "In pre-computerish/computeric time" – sounds ad hoc in Swedish as well. Could also be translated as "In a pre-computer age/time" or the like.]]”, in Över tid och rum [Across time and space]:

A long, long time ago, the world was different from today [did not look like now]. People [one] did not at all live in the same way as me and you [literally translated]. You [one] had constant problems with your [one's] communication. To make yourself [oneself] heard, you [one] had to speak up [take tone]. You [one] aimed for goals [or targets], but you [one] hit next to them [hit next-to/beside (the goal/target, missing it)], because nothing was exact in a pre-computer time. You [one] sent your [one's] documents with men in uniform, who traveled on snow and ice in pouring rain and storm. You [one] bought your [one's] services with paper and metal – a peculiar [strange] system that brought empires down ["got empires on fall"]. People [one] said that the foundation was solid, but the state started slipping [went [came] on the slide [on slide]], because systems were unstable in a pre-computer time. [The] times change. Others will follow/ensue [shall pick up]. Truths become outdated ["are en-aged"]. They are shaped by their own time. People [one] built large cities where they [one] crowded together [thronged with one another] – where they [one] surrounded themselves [oneself] with roar and racket and stood in smoke and dust. They [one] sought leaders with strength and reason, that would lead [or bring] the people away from war and ruin [or "doom," or "destruction" in the sense of ruin/doom]. A role much too complex for a single individual, so nothing endured [became enduring] in a pre-computer time. [The] times change. Others will follow/ensue [shall pick up]. Truths become outdated ["are en-aged"]. You [one] are shaped by your [one's] own time. You [one] had to get up every weekday at five, to stand at a machine until the evening and then go home [until it became evening and you [one] went home]. You [one] lived under threat, on the verge of panic, so you [one] searched for the truth in the mystery of the stars [in the stars' mystique]. People [one] spoke of peace, but they [one] were [lay] in constant conflict [battle], because you [one] relied on [and put your trust in] man/humans ["the human" – the human species or humans collectively] in pre-computer times.

(indefinite) people in general (in some implied group, often all people); one, you, they, people, etc.

der

Att vi i Sverige så påtagligt upplevde det kalla kriget måste nog tillskrivas det djupa intryck hos allmänheten, som 1980- och 1990-talens ubåtsincidenter skapade. Här skapade man framför allt i media en bild av främmande ubåtar, minifarkoster och närmast ufos, som utan motstånd trafikerade våra farvatten.

2011, Hans Wachtmeister, edited by Herman Fältström, Ytspänning: Ett seminarium om det kalla krigets verklighet [Surface tension: a seminar about the reality of the Cold War], →ISBN, page 12:

The fact that we felt the Cold War so tangibly in Sweden should probably be attributed to the deep public impression created by the submarine incidents of the 1980s and 1990s. Here, the media in particular created a picture of foreign submarines, mini vessels and almost UFOs, that travelled through our waters unimpeded.
