In the Swedish song “Helan går” (which sounds as “Hell and Gore” in English),
one makes a hold where the lyrics at [1] mark “Drink”, so it should be a
fermata there, cf. [2] times 1:45 and hold at 1:58. In the stage performance of
"Metsämiehen juomalaulu" at [3], the choir does not bother about that, though.
