Tomtarnas julnatt, also known as ''Midnatt råder'' or ''Tipp tapp'', is a Christmas song with lyrics by Alfred Smedberg (under the pseudonyme "Tippu Tipp"), and music by Vilhelm Sefve-Svensson (under the pseudonym "Vilh. Sefve"). The song was originally published in the children’s magazine ''Jultomten'' in 1898, and has then been re-published several times. In 1916 it was published in ''115 sånger för de små''.,According to song researcher Lennart Kjellgren the crediting of Sefve for the music is uncertain(1999). The song has eight verses, and describes the Christmas elves the evening before Christmas. Originally the opening lines were "Midnatt råder, det är tyst i husen", which nowadays has been replaced with "Midnatt råder, tyst det är i husen". The following-up lines "tyst i husen", however, still remain. In Kindergarten and at school, the song has become popular, and is often dramatized during the Saint Lucy processions with children dressed up like Christmas elves, but the song can also be used as a finger game. During Saint Lucy processions, the Christmas elves often do their entrance to this song. The chorus are often heard loudly, because children easily can memorize it. ==Publication== *Nu ska vi sjunga, 1943, under the lines "Julsånger". *Lek med toner, 1971 *Julens önskesångbok, 1997, under the lines "Traditionella julsånger" *Barnens svenska sångbok, 1999, under the lines "Året runt". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tomtarnas julnatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
