A splendid song, splendidly sung by Jonna Jinton, Swedish singer. The images are haunting and beautiful, suggesting the beauty of the forest inhabited by wolves, humans, and other creatures that form a single system, holobionts within the greater holobiont that covers the land. A few minutes of bliss, welcome in the difficult times we are living.
These are the words in Swedish ("vargen" means wolves) -- Here you can find a more traditional version. Note how gentle and compassionate is the song, with the mother
understanding the hunger and the distress of the wolf and willing to
give it a pig tail or a chicken shank.
Han vill men kan inte sova
Hungern river i hans varga buk
O det är kallt i hans stova
Ungen min får du aldrig
Ylar av hunger o klagar
Men jag ska gen en grisa svans
Sånt passar i varga magar
Ungen min får du aldrig
Låt vargen yla i natten
Men jag ska gen en hönsa skank
Om ingen annan har tatt den
Ungen får du aldrig
Ooo
Ungen den får du aldrig
And here is a version in English (translated using Google, revised using common sense, as I don't speak Swedish. May not be perfect).
I sleep to this every night
