European Christmas Music #4 - SWEDEN

MusicEuropeSweden

European Christmas Music - SWEDEN

There won't be much travel this Christmas season due to the Pandemic, so I thought it would be fun to bring the sounds of Christmas in Europe into our homes.
We will be visiting 7 European areas during this musical trip (click the following titles to visit):
Also, after the featured songs, I will share some of my recipes that coincide with that area.
Today we are visiting Sweden.  I noticed that most of the "traditional" Swedish Christmas songs were all about winter and not about the birth of Jesus Christ.

Please enjoy the following Swedish Christmas songs!
 

Jul jul strålande jul
(Christmas Christmas glorious Christmas)

Julen är härn
(Christmas is Here)

Hej Mitt Vinterland
(Hello my Winterland)
  This is the first verse translated to English:
Hi my winter country, now I'm here
Now the frost bites in my cheek, for the evening is cold
Hi my winter country, see the moon there
It shines coolly around, on dark skies

Sankta Lucia här framför oss står
(Saint Lucia Here in Front of Us Stands)
This is the first verse translated to English:
Saint Lucia here in front of us stands,
now as in the past time.
Saint Lucia she comes every year,
brings us Christmas peace.
The princess of light on our earth
poor saint she is,
invites today to a set table,
none of us she requests.
Saint Lucia you walk with song,
into every home and house.
Saint Lucia we once again,
rejoice in your lit candle.
