Natten går tunga fjät runt gård
och stuva. Kring jord som soln
förgät, skuggorna ruva. Då i vårt mörka
hus, stiger med tända ljus Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia *
Natten var stor och stum, nu hör
det svingar i alla tysta rum, sus som av vingar.
Se på vår tröskel står, vitklädd med ljus i hår
Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia *
Mörkret skall flykta snart,
ur jordens dalar så hon ett underbart
ord till oss talar. Dagen skall åter
ny stiga ur rosig sky. Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia
LYRICS in English: At night, a heavy foot walks around the yard and the barn.
Around the earth that the sun forgot, the shadows brood.
Then in our dark house, rising with lighted candles
Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
The night was big and silent, now there are swings
in all quiet rooms, rustling as of wings.
Look at our threshold standing, dressed in white with light in her hair
Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
The darkness will flee soon, from the valleys of the earth
so she speaks a wonderful word to us.
The day will rise again from the rosy sky.
Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
