Entre le bœuf et l'âne gris
Language: French (Français)
Entre le bœuf et l’âne gris Dort, dort, dort le petit fils Mille anges divins, mille séraphins Volent à l’entour de ce grand dieu d’amour. Entre les deux bras de Marie Dort, dort, dort le fruit de vie Mille anges divins, mille séraphins Volent à l’entour de ce grand dieu d’amour. Entre les roses et les lys Dort, dort, dort le petit fils Mille anges divins, mille séraphins Volent à l’entour de ce grand dieu d’amour. Entre les pastoureaux jolis Dort, dort, Jésus qui sourit Mille anges divins, mille séraphins Volent à l’entour de ce grand dieu d’amour. En ce beau jour si solennel Dort, dort, dort l’Emmanuel Mille anges divins, mille séraphins Volent à l’entour de ce grand dieu d’amour.
