Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia is a traditional Neapolitan song.

In Sweden, Norway and Denmark the song have been given new lyrics, so it fits into the winter-light festival of Saint Lucy. There are various versions of the song in each country. In Denmark the most common version are also known as Nu bæres lyset frem by Alex Garff.

In Sesamgade episode 16 Elmo tried to sing the song and walk at the same time, but he was having dificulties doing it. He would either forget the lyrics or trip over his own legs. Luckily Valdemar, one of his friends, would come and teach Elmo how to do it.
