Original Text

Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici!
Dévotes gens, crions a Dieu merci!
Chantons Noël pour le Roi nouvelet, Noël!
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici!

L'Ange disait, pasteurs partez d'ici!
L’âme en répos et le coeur réjoui.
En Bethléem trouverez l'agnelet.

En Bethléem, étant tous réunis,
trouverent l'enfant, Joseph, Marie aussi.
La créche était au lieu d'un bercelet.

English Translation

Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
Faithful people, let us shout to God, "Thanks!"
Sing we Noel for Christ, the new King: Noel!
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!

The angel said, "O shepherds, get going!
Let your spirit be calm and your heart rejoice.
In Bethlehem you will find the little lamb."

Having regathered in Bethlehem,
they found the child, with Joseph and Mary.
The manger took the place of a cradle.


Psallite! A Candlelight Christmas on December 4, 2004.
