Nu tandas tusen julelys (Nå tennes tusen julelys) og Jingle Bells guitar instrumental

Nu tändas tusen juleljus/Nå tennes tusen julelys, often called just Nu tändas, is a Christian traditional Swedish language Christmas song, written in 1898 by the Swedish song text writer Emmy Köhler (both text and melody). Translated into English, the title literally means "Now are lit a thousand Christmas candles". The theme of the song is the gospel of the newborn Christ and specifically its aspects of domestic harmony and inner peace, brought by the lights of candles as well as of the stars above, most importantly the star of Bethlehem. It was one of the most popular Christmas songs in Sweden during the 20th century, in churches, homes and schools. Swedish pop singer Agnetha Fältskog recorded the song on her album "Nu tändas tusen juleljus", named after the song, with her daughter Linda Ulvaeus.
The song was also covered by artists and groups like Evie Tornquist-Karlsson (both 1974 and 1976, also in English) Ebba Grön (1980), Carola Häggkvist (1983), Wizex (1993), and Lill Lindfors (1991).
The Norwegian language version is Nå tennes tusen julelys and has been recorded by artists such as Elisabeth Andreassen and Sissel Kyrkjebø. There is also a Spanish language version called "Mil Luces" that appeared on an album entitled "Felicidad en Navidad" by an unknown artist, which was distributed by Fuente de Vida.
The Russian language version is V lesu rodilas elochka. The poem used for the lyrics of the song was written in 1903 and in 1905 set to music by the amateur composer Leonid Karlovich Beckmann. The song sounds similar to the original Swedish version.
