Sjömansjul på Hawaii, also known as "Jag en ensam sjöman är" or "Det är julkväll på Hawaii", is a Christmas song, with lyrics by Helge Roundquist (signature "Miguel Torres") and music by Yngve Stoor. The lyrics describe a Swedish sailor visiting Hawaii at Christmastime, and longs back home to Sweden when the sailors celebrate Christmas on board their boat, moored to a wharf while the Sunshine.
The song was recorded by Yngve Stoor and became one of the most popular Swedish songs of 1945, despite being seasonal.
