L'Ange disait, pasteurs partez d'ici!
L’âme en répos et le coeur réjoui.
En Bethléem trouverez l'agnelet. |
The angel said, "O shepherds, get going!
Let your spirit be calm and your heart rejoice.
In Bethlehem you will find the little lamb." |

En Bethléem, étant tous réunis,
trouverent l'enfant, Joseph, Marie aussi.
La créche était au lieu d'un bercelet. |
Having regathered in Bethlehem,
they found the child, with Joseph and Mary.
The manger took the place of a cradle. |
