   • 2001, Finntroll, “Aldhissla”, in Jaktens tid [Time of the Hunt]‎^[2]:

     Månen skiner över Nordens land, skogen står i sin mörka prakt. Aldhissla vandrar över fjäll och slätt. Evigt han vakar, betraktar denna tysta och nattliga trakt. Sitter i sin grotta, bevakar sin gyllene skatt. Sitt hem fyllt av mörker och is. Detta underjordiska land, riket av evig natt. Mästaren Aldhissla. Mästaren Aldhissla. Mästaren Aldhissla, trollet som allting hör. Mästaren Aldhissla, ondska som aldrig dör.

     The moon shines over the lands of the North, the forest stands in its dark splendor. Aldhissla wanders over mountain and plain. Eternally he keeps watch, observes these quiet and nocturnal parts [this quiet and nocturnal trakt]. Sits in his cave, guards [by watching over] his golden treasure. His home filled with darkness and ice. This underground land, the realm of eternal night. [The] Master Aldhissla. [The] Master Aldhissla. [The] Master Aldhissla, the troll that hears everything.

Usage notes

Etymologically from to stay up and not sleep (compare the noun), though the intuition might be closer to "keep a watchful eye" for many native speakers in contemporary Swedish. Compare the obsolete sense of English wake.
