Words for Swedish learners:

Spegel = Mirror
Spegeln = The mirror
Speglar = Mirrors/Reflects
Bild = Image/Picture
Spegelbild = Reflection [lit. mirror-image]
Jag = I
Kan = Can [as in "can do", not as in "a can"]
Kunde** = Could
Vara* = Be
Dröm = (a) Dream
Drömma = (to) Dream
Drömmer = Dreaming/longing for (something)
Drömmar = Dreams

ED:

*Vara may refer to goods from a store, as well as one's being,
such as "Jag var sen" (meaning "I was late"), whereas "var" is past tense of the word "vara".

**Kunde is the past tense form of "Kan", suggestions to an act which have already happened, however, depending on the context of texts and/or speech, it may refer to a futuristic event.

***The meaning of the word Nog vary depending on the circumstances.
For example, in the lyrics of this song, the word is clearly meant to suggest an assumption.
Various meanings of the word include Probably, Surely and, as already stated in the lingo Enough.

Since the translation I previously made is (at least for me) quite embarrasing due to some errors grammar-wise, I've added the lyrics and a newer translation below.


Lyrics:

Se på mig
(Look at me)
Jag kan aldrig bli så perfekt och fin som de nog vill ha mig
(I can never be as perfect and sweet as they probably would've liked me to be)
Se på mig
(Look at me)
Aldrig lär jag mig det där
(I'll never learn that)
Jag förstår
(I see) [understand/comprehends]
Kan bara vara just den jag är
(I can only be the one I truly am)
Men det räcker inte här
(But that's not good enough here)

Vem är det nu jag ser?
(Who is it I see now?)
Svara nu, för jag ber
(Answer [me] now, for I pray)
Visa mig en spegelbild som kan vara jag
(Show me a reflection that could be me)
Kunde jag gömma mig i en dröm
(If I could hide myself in a dream)
Glömma mig
(Forget myself)
Spegel, ber dig visa nu
(Mirror, [I] ask you now to show)
visa vem jag är!
(show who I am!)
Spegel, ber dig visa nu
(Mirror, [I] ask you now to show)
visa vem jag är...
(show who I am...)
