Så mörk är natten i midvintertid-ENGLISH TRANSLATION

This is a song for the Swedish tradition Lucia, based on a story originating from Italy, about a Christian girl who only wanted to serve God, but ended up stabbing her eyes out to send them to a man who wanted to marry her. Every year, on December 13th, we hold a ceremony in Sweden, singing Christmas songs, in honor of Lucia. In our tradition, Lucia is the bringer of light, the promise that daylight will return once again. This is my translation. I do not own the song.
