   • 1960, Evert Taube (lyrics and music), “Vals på Karibien (Så länge skutan kan gå) [Waltz in the Caribbean (As long as the ship can sail)]”:

     Så länge skutan kan gå. Så länge hjärtat kan slå. Så länge solen den glittrar på böljorna blå. Om blott en dag eller två, så håll till godo ändå. För det finns många som aldrig en ljusglimt kan få.

     As long as the ship can sail. As long as the heart can beat. As long as the sun glitters on the blue waves [billows, often used idiomatically in reference to the sea – see bölja]. In but a day or two [you will die, going on the rest of the lyrics], so be satisfied anyway. For there are many who can never get a glimmer of light.

3. (colloquial) any (smaller) boat (with sails)
4. a loose boulder created during rock blasting
