Santa Lucia sangen, tekst og melodi

Santa Lucia sangen
som den synges under Lucia-optog

Komponist: Alex Garrf
Tekst: Ukendt

Nu bæres lyset frem
stolt på din krone
rundt om i hus og hjem
sangen skal tone
Nu på Lucia-dag
hilser vort vennelag
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia

Her ved vor ønskefest
sangen skal klinge
gaver til hver en gæst
glad vil du bringe.
Skænk os af lykkens væld
lige til livets kvæld
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia

Engelsk udgave - Song for Santa Lucia

Nightly, go heavy hearts
Round farm and steading
On earth, where sun departs,
shadows are spreading.
Then on our darkest night,
Comes with her shining light
Sankta Lucia! Sankta Lucia!
Then on our darkest night,
Comes with her shining light
Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia.

Night-darkling, huge and still.
Hark, something’s stirring!
In all our silent rooms,
Wingbeats are whisp’ring!
Stands on our threshold there,
White clad, lights in her hair,
Sankta Lucia! Sankta Lucia!
Stands on our threshold there,
White clad, lights in her hair,
Sankta Lucia! Sankta Lucia!

Darkness shall fly away
Through earthly portals.
She brings such wonderful
words to us mortals!
Daylight, again renewed
will rise, all rosy-hued!
Sankta Lucia! Sankta Lucia!
Daylight, again renewed,
will rise, all rosy-hued.
Sankta Lucia! Sankta Lucia!
