      Ge mig en svårknäckt nöt, sötare gröt, djupare dopp i grytan. Glittrigare glim och grötigare rim, och mer Arne Weise i rutan. Jag vill ha rymligare säck, segare knäck, fetare fläsk från grisen. Krimsigare krams, längre långdans, och raskare räv på isen.
      Give me a tough nut to crack, sweeter porridge, deeper dips in the pot. Glitterier glimmer and porridgier/messier rhymes [see grötrim], and more Arne Weise [Christmas TV host] on TV [in the screen]. I want a more spacious (Santa) sack, chewier toffee [see knäck], fatter pork from the pig. "Knickier knacks" [wordplay on krimskrams (“knick-knacks”)], longer long dance [see långdans], and swifter fox on the ice [reference to the Christmas song "Räven raskar över isen" (The fox hurries across the ice)].
