Advent Calendar, Day 20
-- and the last candle is lit...
Tänd ett ljus - Light a candle...
is a song,written and arranged in 1988, which has gradually become "a classic" during Advent.
It was wonderful to find a version of the song in ENGLISH, because to me it feels especially appropriate now, given the difficult times... Rob Lundgren, a Swedish artist perhaps best known as a "metal musician," writes:
"This is an English Lyrics version I made of the Swedish classic Tänd Ett Ljus.Originally by Triad.
All Sounds, Vocals and Piano by Rob Lundgren"
Rob stays remarkably close to the orginal arrangement, and I really appreciate his skill in making a very "singable" translation. Here he is:

"Light a candle, don't let it burn out
Never let the hope turn to doubt
It's getting dark now
But it'll be brighter again...."
