Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes |

|
Traditional French Christmas carol which was long ago
translated into English as Angels We Have Heard On High.
Les anges dans nos campagnes
Ont entonné l'hymne des cieux
Et l'écho de nos montagnes
Redit ce chant mélodieux
Gloria in excelsis Déo! (bis)
Bergers, pour qui cette fête
Quel est l'objet de tous ces chants ?
Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête
Mérite ces cris triomphants ?
Gloria in excelsis Déo! (bis)
Il est né, le Dieu de gloire
Terre, tressaille de bonheur
Que tes hymnes de victoire
Chantent, célèbrent ton sauveur !
Gloria in excelsis Déo! (bis)
In English:
The angels in our fields
Started singing the heavenly hymn
And the echo of our mountains
Repeat this melodious song.
Gloria in excelsis Déo! (repeat)
Shepherds, for whom this party
What is the point of all these songs?
Which victor, which conquest
Merits these triumphant cries?
Gloria in excelsis Déo! (repeat)
He is born, the God of glory
Land, shakes with joy
That your hymns of victory
Sing, celebrate your savoir!
Gloria in excelsis Déo! (repeat)
