[@hakanliljeberg790]

Much of these celebrations have their roots in pagan times. Before Lucia it was called 'Stora Lusse'. Probably from 'Stora ljuse', Old norse 'Gróta liós' "Great light". From beginning a lightwake on the longest night. But since Västergötland had much contact with Kyiv-Rus in the 11th to 13th c, it is very likely that they borrowed a lot from Kolada-celebrations in medieval Ukraine and Russia...

Night walks with a heavy step round yard and hearth, as the sun departs from earth, shadows are brooding. There in our dark house, walking with lit candle, Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia! Night walks grand, yet silent, now hear it’s gentle wings, in every room so hushed, whispering like wings. Look at our thresholds stands, white-clad with lights in her hair, Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia! Darkness shall take flight soon, from earth’s valley’s. So she speaks wonderful words to us, a new day will rise again from the rosy sky… Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!

[@metronova94]

Really beautiful! Does anyone know what they're singing about between 4:03-4:40 and does anyone know the name of that carol?

[@ProjectThunderclaw]

The title is actually on screen: "Se godmorgon i huset", here arranged by Lars Hernqvist. The phrasing is a bit archaic so I'm not confident about translating, but it's something like "Good morning to the household". The lyrics start with a simple "good morning" and describe a breakfast scene, where the "lord and lady" are given coffee by Lucia. Presumably this relates to tradition that I'm personally unfamiliar with but have seen hints of elsewhere where children bring their parents breakfast (or perhaps just coffee) in bed. I've never heard it before and I could only find two other references to it on the internet, but those sources and the caption identify it as a traditional carol from Västergötland, the southwestern province of Sweden where this was filmed. Presumably it's quite local.

[@roykale9141]

[@CF-zc5lh]

I did my best at translating the things I could hear. Translation: See morning in the house Both husband and wife See morning in the house Both husband and wife The ”Lusse-Bride” is now comming She is approaching her bed. Closer she is approaching Take the coffee it is starting to get cold ????(I have no idea what they are saying) Take the coffee it is starting to get cold Take it now [????] The Carol is called: Se morgon i huset. Translation: See morning in the house.

[@kajsan760]

@@ProjectThunderclaw Have you never heard of the tradition of Lucia bringing breakfast to the bedroom of the parents of the house? I assume it was originally done by the maid, or maybe a teenage daughter.
