Lyrics
D’où viens-tu, bergère,
D’où viens-tu?
D’où viens-tu, bergère,
D’où viens-tu?
Je viens de l'étable,
De Béthléem,
De voir un miracle,
Qui me touche bien.
Qu’as-tu vu, bergère,
Qu’as-tu vu?
Qu’as-tu vu, bergère,
Qu’as-tu vu?
J’ai vu dans l'étable,
Un petit enfant,
Qui brillait sans cesse,
Jamais ne dormant.
Est-il beau bergère,
Est-il beau?
Est-il beau bergère,
Est-il beau?
Plus beau que la lune,
Et que le soleil.
Jamais la nature,
N’a vu son pareil.
Est-il seul bergère,
Est-il seul?
Est-il seul bergère,
Est-il seul?
Joseph son bon père,
Est à son côté.
Et Marie sa mère,
Lui donne son lait.
Et rien plus bergère,
Et rien plus?
Et rien plus bergère,
Et rien plus?
J’ai ouï les anges,
Du ciel descendus,
Chantant les louanges
Du petit Jésu.
Ils chantaient, bergère,
Ils chantaient.
Ils chantaient, bergère,
Ils chantaient.
Gloire, honneur au Père,
Au plus haut des cieux,
Et paix sur la terre,
Aux cœurs généreux.
Lyrics translation
Where Are you from, Shepherd,
Where Are you from?
Where Are you from, Shepherd,
Where Are you from?
I come from the stable,
Bethlehem,
To see a miracle,
That touches me well.
What Have you seen, Shepherd,
What did you see?
What Have you seen, Shepherd,
What did you see?
I saw in the barn,
A small child,
That shone all the time,
Never sleeping.
Is he handsome Shepherd,
Is he handsome?
Is he handsome Shepherd,
Is he handsome?
More beautiful than the moon,
And that the sun.
Never nature,
Never saw her like that.
Is he the only Shepherd,
Is he alone?
Is he the only Shepherd,
Is he alone?
Joseph his good father,
Is by his side.
And Mary his mother,
Give him his milk.
And nothing more Shepherd,
And nothing more?
And nothing more Shepherd,
And nothing more?
I heard the Angels,
From the sky down,
Singing the praises
The little Jesuit.
They sang, Shepherd,
They were singing.
They sang, Shepherd,
They were singing.
Glory, honor to the father,
To the highest of the heavens,
And peace on Earth,
To generous hearts.
