Noel nouvelet, Noel chantons ici,
Devotes gens, crions a Dieu merci!
Chantons Noel pour le Roi nouvelet, Noel!
Chantons Noel pour le Roi nouvelet,
Noel nouvelet, Noel chantons ici!
L'ange disait! pasteurs partez d'ici!
En Bethleem trouverez l'angelet. Refrain
En Bethleem, etant tous reunis,
Trouverent l'enfant, Joseph, Marie aussi. Refrain
Bientot, les Rois, par l'etoile eclaircis,
A Bethleem vinrent un matinee. Refrain
L'un partait l'or; l'autre l'encens bem;
L'etable alors au Paradis semblait. Refrain
Translated Version:
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
Glory to God! Now let your praises swell!
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King, Noel!
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King.
Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
Angels did say, "O shepherds come and see,
Born in Bethlehem, a blessed Lamb for thee." Refrain
In the manger bed, the shepherds found the Child;
Joseph was there, and Mother Mary mild. Refrain
Soon came the kings from following the star,
Bearing costly gifts from Eastern lands afar. Refrain
Brought to Him gold and incense of great price,
Then the stable bare resembled Paradise. Refrain
