I’m searching for a Swedish folk song which inspired a Hungarian Christmas song

1. I’m unfortunately absolute shite at these kind of things, but the only song I can think of is “trollmors vaggvisa” which is like a lullaby.

2. What does Hungary Finland and Estonia have in common?

3. Pale skin and strange noise coming from the mouth!?

4. I can’t find an resemblance to any songs that I know. Can it be the lyrics rather than the music that has a swedish origin? What is the song about?

6. Never heard anything like this

7. Nope, do not recognize. It does have a certain nordic tone to it though. Hints of Garmarna, Hedningarna, Irmelin, Ranarim, Sorkar & Strängar, Triakel.

8. Asked my mother, she normally performs well at melodikrysset. 🙂

9. Well I mean don’t know if it’s swedish, but we have a very similar christmas song https://youtu.be/LMieLEXdjss

10. I heard this melody. its not the same bpm but… something made this pop up in my head

11. [En gång i bredd med mig](https://open.spotify.com/track/1NgHwPbwFAOXmfy4p3JcJ0?si=_cfs3cQdTEikmHvUcjMLTA&utm_source=copy-link) maybe.

12. This post showed me that half of Sweddit is tonedeaf lol, sadly I don’t think I’ve heard the song that may have inspired this.

13. It sounds like “Sparven om julmorgonen”, a Swedish poem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparven_om_julmorgonen. It also exists in Finnish ”Varpunen jouluaamuna” https://youtu.be/9BmoafN_nGo. The poem has been made into a song several times, and someone mentioned ”en gång i bredd med mig” which seems to be a version of the original

14. Vem kan segla förutan vind?
