Lyrics
Il est ne, le divin Enfant,
Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes;
Il est ne, le divin Enfant;
Chantons tous son avenement!
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,
Nous le promettaient les Prophetes;
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,
Nous attendions cet heureux temps.
Il est ne, le divin Enfant…
Ah! qu’ll est beau, qu’il est charmant,
Que ses graces sont parfaites!
Ah! qu’ll est beau, qu’ll est charmant,
Qu’il est doux le divin Enfant!
Il est ne, le divin Enfant…
Une etable est son logement,
Unpeu de paille, sa couchette,
Une etable est son logement,
Pour un Dieu, quel abaissement!
Il est ne, le divin Enfant…
O Jesus! O Roi tout puissant!
Tout petit enfant que vous etes,
O Jesus! O Roi tout puissant!
Regnez sur nous entierement!
Il est ne, le divin Enfant…
Lyrics translation
He is ne, the Divine Child,
Play, oboe, resonate, musettes;
He is ne, the Divine Child;
Let's all sing his song!
For more than four thousand years,
The prophets promised us;
For more than four thousand years,
We were waiting for this happy time.
He is ne, the Divine Child…
Ah! that he is beautiful, that he is charming,
That his graces are perfect!
Ah! that he is beautiful, that he is charming,
How sweet is the Divine Child!
He is ne, the Divine Child…
A stable is his dwelling,
A little straw, his bed,
A stable is his dwelling,
For a God, what a lowering!
He is ne, the Divine Child…
Jesus! O king almighty!
Little child you are,
Jesus! O king almighty!
Reign over us entirely!
He is ne, the Divine Child…
