Natt över Judaland, natt över Sion. Borta vid västerrand slocknar Orion.

Night over the land of Judah, night over Zion. Away by the western rim [horizon], fades [goes out, is extinguished, dies down] Orion.

En kulen natt, natt, natt, min båt jag styrde, på havets vågade, vågade, våg, så skummet yrde. Och vart [än] jag sågade, sågade, såg, på havets vågade, vågade, våg, långt ner i djupettipettipettipett [djupet], en fisk jag såg, och det var du!

(Can we date this quote?), traditional (lyrics and music), “En kulen natt [One chilly night]”:

One chilly night, night, night, my boat I steered, on the sea's wave-a-di [also literally "wave-ed" or "daring" (plural or definite)], wave-a-di, wave, so that the foam sprayed [whirled, spun through the air]. And wherever I look-a-di [also literally "sawed," as with a saw], look-a-di, looked, on the sea's wave-a-di, wave-a-di, wave [Cryptic – intuitively either "And where I looked ..." or "And wherever I looked ..." (where the latter usually has än, but works intuitively without it), with the sentence ending here, but that makes little sense. "And there I saw ..." would make more sense as well.], far down in the depths-deppy-deppy-deppy-dep, a fish I saw, and it was you!

För jag ska ooa hela natten, ooa hela dan [dagen]. Ooa hela natten, skrämma slag på halva stan [staden]. Ooa hela natten lång, tills du upptäcker mig. Ao ao-ao-ao.

1981, Åke Eriksson, Björn Uhr (lyrics and music), “Ooa hela natten [Ooh the whole night]”performed by Attack:

Ooh the whole night long, until you notice [discover] me. Ah-ooh ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh.

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ἀναγνώρισις (anagnṓrisis).

lbor

Det tredje ledet, anagnorisis, återuppståndelsen eller igenkännande som vid årsfesterna symboliseras av att trädet med sin nyutspruckna lövprakt bärs in som bevis på att livet ännu en gång återvänt, omtalas ofast enbart i mysteriespelen och ageras inte ut.

1986, Gunilla Domellöf, “Kapitel IV. Karin Boye och prosamodernismen”, in I oss är en mångfald levande, page 221:

The third element, anagnorisis, the resurrection, or recognition, which is symbolized at the annual festivals by the tree being carried in with its newly sprung foliage as evidence that life has once again returned, is most often mentioned only in the mystery plays and is not acted out.

I slutet får vi bevittna hur Fjalar, då han på höjden av sin självtillit får veta sanningen om sina barns öde, når fram till insikt om sin egen identitet. Detta sker genom yttre »anagnorisis», i Hjalmars berättelse, men främst genom inre: Avklädd sin rustning kommer Fjalar till insikt om sin maktlöshet. »Anagnorisis» kommer tematiskt och strukturellt också till uttryck som ett förhållande mellan att se och att inse.

2004, Kjell-Arne Brändström, et al., “Kung Fjalar. Kommentar av Kjell-Arne Brändström”, in Samlade skrifter XII:2, page 294:

In the end, we witness how Fjalar, when at the height of his self-confidence, learns the truth about his children's fate and comes to realize his own identity. This occurs through an outer "anagnorisis," in Hjalmar's narrative, but primarily through inner revelation: Stripped of his armor, Fjalar becomes aware of his powerlessness. "Anagnorisis" thematically and structurally also expresses a relationship between seeing and realizing.

From Old Swedish vinter, from Old Norse vintr, from Proto-Germanic *wintruz (“winter”).

Sov, du lilla vide ung. Än så är det vinter. Än så sova [old present tense plural form, now "sover" – the present tense plural used to be identical to the infinitive for all verbs except vara] björk och ljung, ros och hyacinter. Än så är det långt till vår, innan rönn i blomma står. Sov, du lilla vide. Än så är det vinter. Solskensöga ser på dig. Solskensfamn dig vaggar. Snart blir grönt på skogens stig, och var blomma flaggar. Än en liten solskensbön: Vide liten blir så grön. Solskensöga ser dig. Solskensfamn dig vaggar.

1869, “Sov du lilla vide ung (Videvisan) [Sleep, [you] little willow young (The Willow Song)]”, Zachris Topelius (lyrics), Alice Tegnér (music):

Sleep, ["you" – could be kept, but doesn't have the tone of "You little rascal" or the like as a vocative – see du] little willow young [poetic – putting the adjective last is equally unusual in Swedish here]. It is still winter [yet it is winter]. Yet [as in "still"] sleep birch and heather, rose and hyacinths. Spring is still a long way off [yet it is a long way to spring], before rowan is [stands] in bloom [normally "står i blom" rather than "står i blomma"]. Sleep, [you] little willow. It is still winter. Sunshine's eye watches you ["sunshine-eye watches you" – poetically terse in Swedish as well]. Sunshine's arms [see famn] rock you [like in a cradle (vagga)]. Soon the forest path will be green [soon it becomes green on the forest's path], and all the flowers fly their flags ["and each flower flags," as in puts out flags, figuratively]. Yet one little sunshine prayer [or plea]: Willow little turns so green. Sunshine's eye sees you. Sunshine's arms rock you.

Hej, mitt vinterland, nu är jag här. Nu biter frosten i min kind, ty kall är kvällen. Hej, mitt vinterland, se månen där. Den lyser kyligt trind / kring [differs between versions] på mörka himlapällen. Bjällrans klang friden stör, när vi genom skogen kör. Bofink uti grannens topp, förlåt att vi väckte dig opp. Hej, mitt vinterland, nu är jag här. Och vinter ["vintern" (definite) in some versions] / på vinterholiday [possibly the original lyrics, then misunderstood or changed], håll i dig, nu blinkar stugans ljus mot mig, i mitt vita vinterland.

1960, Britt Lindeborg (lyrics and music), “Hej, mitt vinterland [Hey [or "hi / hello"], my winterland]”, in Julefrid med Carola [Christmas peace / serenity with Carola], performed by Carola:

Hey [or "hi / hello"], my winterland, now I am here. Now the frost bites my cheek, for the evening is cold. Hey, my winterland, look at the moon there. It shines cool and plump / coolly around ["coolly round/plump / around" – differs between versions] in the dark canopy of the sky. The sound of the [jingle] bell disturbs the peace as we ride [drive] through the forest. Chaffinch at [in] the top of the spruce, we're sorry for waking you up [sorry for that we woke you up]. Hey, my winterland, now I am here. And winter, brace yourself / on winter holiday [ad hoc], now the [Christmas, probably] lights of the cottage twinkle ["blink" – tindra (“twinkle”) is less common for electric lights in Swedish] at [toward] me, in my white winterland.

com+

Öfverallt i landet skulle på fjällen uppresas vårdkasar på ett visst afstånd från hvarandra. Där fienden först upptäcktes, skulle närmaste vårdkase antändas. När elden därifrån syntes till en annan vårdkase, skulle denna tändas, och så alltfort, tills alla vårdkasarna hade utvisat, att fienden var kommen. På detta sätt kunde underrättelsen om fiendens inbrytande på sju dagar spridas öfver hela Norge.

1894, Hedda Anderson, Norska konungasagor, page 33:

All over the country, beacons would be erected on the fells at a certain distance from each other. Where the enemy was first discovered, the nearest beacon would be ignited. When the fire from there was visible to another beacon, this would be lit, and so on, until all the beacons had shown that the enemy had come. In this way, the information about the enemy's invasion could be spread over the whole of Norway in seven days.

A beacon; bonfire used for signaling; specifically about incoming land or sea invasions
