Sol, vind och vatten (Swedish: [ˈsuːl ˈvɪnd ɔ ˈvatːɛn], "Sun, wind and water") is a song with lyrics by Kenneth Gärdestad and music by Ted Gärdestad, recorded by Lena Andersson and released as a single in October 1972.[1] Ted Gärdestad recorded the song on his 1973 album Ted.[2] By the second verse, the birth of Jesus is apparent, but in Sweden the song is strongly associated with the summertime and not Christmastime. Many people interpret dig "you" as a human being, and not god or Jesus.

Later during the 1970s, 80's and early 90's, the term Sol, vind och vatten' became associated with the issue of energy politics, with protests against nuclear power yelling:

A Framåt fredag version, written by Peter Sundblad and Lars Gunnar Övermyr, was also called Sol, vind & vatten, but actually had an energy political theme.[3]
