lyrics
Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle!
Un flambeau, courons au berceau!
C’est Jésus, bonnes gens du hameau,
Le Christ est né, Marie appelle,
Ah! Ah! Ah! que la mère est belle,
Ah! Ah! Ah! que l’Enfant est beau!
Qui vient là, frappant de la sorte?
Qui vient là, frappant comme ça?
Ouvrez-donc, j’ai posé sur un plat
De bons gâteaux qu’ici j’apporte.
Toc! Toc! Toc! Ouvrez-nous la porte,
Toc! Toc! Toc! Faisons grand gala!
C’est un tort quand l’Enfant sommeille,
C’est un tort de crier si fort.
Taisez-vous l’un et l’autre, d’abord!
Au moindre bruit, Jésus s’eveille,
Chut! Chut! Chut! Il dort à merveille.
Chut! Chut! Chut! Voyez comme Il dort!
Doucement, dans l’étable close,
Doucement, venez un moment!
Approchez! que Jésus est charmant!
Comme Il est blanc, comme Il est rose!
Do! Do! Do! Que l’Enfant repose!
Do! Do! Do! Qu’Il rit en dormant!
Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabelle!
Bring a torch, to the cradle run!
It is Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born and Mary is calling:
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the mother.
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Child.
Who goes there, knocking that way?
Who goes there, knocking like that?
Open up, I have made a plate
Of good cakes which I am bringing.
Knock! Knock! Open the door for us,
Knock! Knock! Let’s have a big party!
It is wrong, when the Child is sleeping,
It is wrong to cry out so loudly.
Silence, both of you, first of all!
Lest at the least noise, Jesus wakes.
Shh! He sleeps wonderfully,
Shh! See how He sleeps!
Softly, come to the little stable,
Softly, come for a moment!
Approach! How charming Jesus is!
How white He is, how rosy He is!
Sleep, little One! How the Child rests!
Sleep, little One! How He laughs in His dreams!
Un flambeau, courons au berceau!
C’est Jésus, bonnes gens du hameau,
Le Christ est né, Marie appelle,
Ah! Ah! Ah! que la mère est belle,
Ah! Ah! Ah! que l’Enfant est beau!
Qui vient là, frappant de la sorte?
Qui vient là, frappant comme ça?
Ouvrez-donc, j’ai posé sur un plat
De bons gâteaux qu’ici j’apporte.
Toc! Toc! Toc! Ouvrez-nous la porte,
Toc! Toc! Toc! Faisons grand gala!
C’est un tort quand l’Enfant sommeille,
C’est un tort de crier si fort.
Taisez-vous l’un et l’autre, d’abord!
Au moindre bruit, Jésus s’eveille,
Chut! Chut! Chut! Il dort à merveille.
Chut! Chut! Chut! Voyez comme Il dort!
Doucement, dans l’étable close,
Doucement, venez un moment!
Approchez! que Jésus est charmant!
Comme Il est blanc, comme Il est rose!
Do! Do! Do! Que l’Enfant repose!
Do! Do! Do! Qu’Il rit en dormant!
Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabelle!
Bring a torch, to the cradle run!
It is Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born and Mary is calling:
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the mother.
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Child.
Who goes there, knocking that way?
Who goes there, knocking like that?
Open up, I have made a plate
Of good cakes which I am bringing.
Knock! Knock! Open the door for us,
Knock! Knock! Let’s have a big party!
It is wrong, when the Child is sleeping,
It is wrong to cry out so loudly.
Silence, both of you, first of all!
Lest at the least noise, Jesus wakes.
Shh! He sleeps wonderfully,
Shh! See how He sleeps!

Softly, come for a moment!

Sleep, little One! How He laughs in His dreams!
