Les Anges dans nos campagnes - French Christmas Carol
Lyrics for "Les Anges dans nos campagnes," a traditional French Christmas carol
Les Anges dans nos campagnes is a traditional French Christmas carol
which was long ago translated into English as Angels We Have Heard On High.
To my untrained ear, the tune is similar to that of Come All Ye Faithful
(although I have been informed that they are completely different). Note that the translation given here is the literal translation of the French Christmas
carol.
| 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) |
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) |
