Kring jord, som sol'n f rl t, skuggorna ruva. 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. Natten r stor och stum. Night-darkling, huge and still.
M rkret skall flykta snart ur jordens dalar.
S hon ett underbart ord till oss talar. Dagen skall ter ny stiga ur rosig sky. Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia. Dagen skall ter ny stiga ur rosig sky. Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia.
