** 1968, Cornelis Vreeswijk (lyrics and music), “Personliga Person [Personal Person]”, in Tio vackra visor och Personliga Person [Ten beautiful songs and Personal Person]‎:["Person" is pronounced like the last name "Persson" in this song] Personliga Person satt en morgon vid frukostbordet och läste i morgonbladet att det senaste lustmordet bjöd på en mängd pikanta detaljer. Mördaren hade använt vissa attiraljer. Dessa nämndes i bladet, och det var ju bra det. Personliga Persons fru och hans vidriga dotter, de sutto [archaic] i sina särkar ännu och sina papiljotter. Person såg på dem med föga sympati, och i sitt stilla sinna tänkte Person "Tvi!" – fast han ingenting sade, och det var ju bra det. Personliga Person far med bussen som alla andra. I överrock och med handskar och hatt låter han sina tankar vandra. Och tankarna far precis som de vill, och ingen hade kunnat gissa sig till vad slags tankar han hade, och det var ju bra det. Personliga Person far mot hemmet per tunnelbana. En trettiosjua brännevin [brännvin] har han med sig av gammal vana. Sen spöar han sin fru med dunder och med brak, och somnar som ett svin och vaknar som ett vrak. Men, se, roligt det var det, och det var ju bra det. Personliga Person står i telefonkatalogen, och om du de rätta siffrorna slår så svarar han glad i hågen. Ja, visst finns det många Pärsöner ["son" jokingly inflected for plural], men personliga Person finns det bara en, och det råkar var jag det, och det var ju bra det.Personal Person sat one morning at the breakfast table and read in the morning paper that the latest lust murder offered a range of piquant details. The killer had used certain paraphernalia. These were mentioned in the paper, and that's good [literally, "and that was good," or – see ju – "and yeah, that was good," "and that was good, of course," or the like]. Personal Person's wife and his disgusting [or "vile," "repugnant," "odious" or the like – stronger than "disgusting"] daughter, they were still sitting in their robes [shifts or nightgowns – nattlinne is more common] and their curlers. Person looked at them with little sympathy, and quietly to himself ["in his calm/still mind" – idiomatic], Person thought "Yuck!" – though he didn't say anything, and that's good. Personal Person goes by bus like everyone else. In an overcoat and with gloves and a hat, he lets his thoughts wander [idiomatic for letting one's mind wander]. And his thoughts [just] go wherever they want ["go precisely as they want," with "fara" implying swift movement], and no one could have guessed [would have been able to guess themselves to] what kind of thoughts he had, and that's good. Personal Person heads for home by metro. A half bottle vodka ["thirty-sevener" – compare halvböj] he carries [has] with him out of [old] habit. Then he beats up his wife with thunder and with crash ["med dunder och brak" is used idiomatically for sudden, forceful (loud) activity, like "with a (crash and a) bang"], falls asleep like a pig and wakes up a wreck. But, see, it was fun [fun, that was it], and that's good. Personal Person is in the phone book, and if you punch in the right numbers, he'll answer cheerfully. Yes, there certainly are many Persons, but personal Person there is only one, and that happens to be me, and that's good [could also be taken as a quote].
