   • 1891, Gustaf Fröding, “Jag ville, jag vore”, in Guitarr och dragharmonika:

     Jag ville, jag vore i Indialand

     I wished I were in Indialand

   • 1990, Niklas Strömstedt, “Om [If]”, in Om! [If!]‎^[1]:

     Om du var ett hav vore jag en våg. Om du var himmelen skulle jag ha vingar. Om du var ett regn hade jag var't [varit] hav och land. Om du var musik vore jag en sång. Om du var vidderna ville jag va' [vara] vinden. Men jag skulle inte va' [vara] nånting om du inte fanns.

     [Literally translated for illustration – see the link for a more natural translation] If you were an ocean [sea], were I a wave [or "I were a wave" – subjunctive. "Var jag en våg" sounds wrong the way "I was a wave" does here. The tone is just "I would be a wave"]. If you were the sky, I would have wings. If you were a rain, had I been sea and land [subjunctive, everyday – very common with hade (“had”)]. If you were music, were I a song [or "I were a song" – subjunctive. "Var jag en sång" (I was a song) sounds wrong, like above. The tone is just "I would be a song"]. If you were the plains, I wanted to be the wind [somewhat tersely worded here in Swedish as well]. But I would not be anything if you did not exist.

• Everyday word, despite the subjunctive mood being archaic to obsolete otherwise in modern Swedish.
• See the song quotation above for another example of an idiomatic use of vore.
