     Det bor en ängel i mitt rum. Hon har sitt bo ovanför mitt huvud. Hon görmej lugn. Och hon viskar till mej allt det jag sägerdej.

     There is an angel living in my room [it lives an angel in my room]. She has her dwelling [usually of animals, especially nests] above my head. She puts me at ease [makes me calm]. And she whispers to me all the things that [all that (which)] I say toyou.

Popular (along withmej) as a semi-informal spelling around the 1970s to 1980s, and therefore seen in many old song lyrics for example. Usage has now mostly reverted back todig.
