Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle

UN FLAMBEAU, JEANETTE, ISABELLE


A torch, Jeanette, Isabelle,
Let us run to the cradle.
It is Jesus, good people of the hamlet.
Christ is born, Mary is calling.
Ah! How beautiful is the mother.
Ah! How handsome is the child.

It's too bad when he's sleeping.
It's too bad when he cries so hard.
First of all, be quiet everyone.
At the slightest noise Jesus awakens, Sh! Sh!
He is sleeping so wonderfully! Sh! Sh!
See how he is sleeping!

A torch, Jeanette, Isabelle,
Let us run to the cradle.
It is Jesus, good people of the hamlet.
Christ is born, Mary is calling.
Ah! How beautiful is the mother.
Ah! How handsome is the child.
