Please, help to understand the word "mila" in Dan Anderssons Kolvaktaren visor. I met this word in:
Gengångare
Är du ensam vid din mila i din koja i kväll,
and in:
Jag väntar...
Jag väntar vid min mila medan timmarna lida
I can not find this word in dictionaries.
I have found that it is the number of thousands, but this meaning is not good for translation of Anderssons verses.

Törs inte ens tänka på hur det ska gå om han försöker sig på "Visa i molom" med tanke på alla konstiga krystade ord som Hambe har hittat på.
Thank you very much! It is interesting, that Mila is a russian name, as well as Lida or Rita. And of course this give new colors in words meaning.

Alexander, your interest in old Swedish songs and texts is lovely. Continue with your translations!
Thank you very much! I was several times in Sweden and it was very nice! My dream is to visit Sweden again but it is difficult. I can at least to touch swedish culture through traditional songs. I want to sing all swedish songs which I have translated. Now there are 16 songs. This will be whole album! You can see my translations on address:

In some versions the sing "Jag väntar vid min stockeld" in the beginning and "Jag väntar vid min mila" in the end.
