Swedish song that cools you down during summer and also vocabularies about "light"

Svensk sång som kyler ner dig under sommaren.

There is no article. With article it would have been like this: "...glans över de vita skogarna".

himmelens kronor med gnistrande ljus, 
Heaven’s crowns with sparkling lights,

Plural. Singular would be "krona".

glimmande bågar i alla Guds hus, 
shiny arches in all God’s houses 

Plural. It´s difficult to see, because "hus" doesn´t get any different ending in plural, it´s just the same. But you see the word "alla", there you have the plural.

Psalm, som är sjungen från tid till tid,
The prayers (no article and no plural)  that have been is (not past tense) sung throughout from the time to time

Prayer is perhaps not the accurate translation. Google translate gives me "psalm, hymn, corale". Maybe "psalm" does exist in English, I don´t know actually.
Literally translation of "prayer" is "bön".

hymn = hymn
corale = koral


eviga längtan till ljus och frid
Forever prolong until The eternal longing to light and peace

evig längtan = eternal longing
den eviga längtan = the eternal longing

But you can actually take away the article in the beginning but keep it in the end:

Eviga längan = The eternal longing.

Jul, jul, strålande jul, glans över vita skogar, 
Xmas, Xmas, beaming Xmas, gloss over the white forests

Kom, kom, signade jul! Sänk dina vita vingar
Come, come, blessed Xmas! Lower your white wings
över stridernas blod och larm
Over blood and alarms of the battles

strid/slag = battle
slagfält = battlefield (fält = field)

över all suckan ur människobarm
Over all sighs out of people’s chests (no plural there)

suckan is not plural, it´s difficult to translate but I guess you have made an quite accurate translation.

the ground word is

suck = singular (sigh)
suckar = plural (sighs)

I don´t know how to translate suckan. It is singular (even though the word "all", I don´t even think it is possible to say suckan in plural. It´s beautiful word but I have never heard it anywhere else but in this song.


över de släkten, som gå till ro,
Over the families that go to rest
över de ungas dagande bo!
Over the young´s ages that you have today

This is difficult to translate. "ett bo" is "a nest". "släkten som gå till ro" is "(old) generations that pass away". "de ungas dagande bo" is the opposite of that. "dagande" is an adjective. It means that their nest is a place for new days to come.

I would translate the whole sentence like this:

"Over the young´s day-bringing nest"


Kom, kom, signade jul! Sänk dina vita vingar!
Come, come, blessed Xmas! Lower your white wings
