by Léon Chancerel (1886 - 1965)

L’adoration de berger
Language: French (Français) 
Compagnons, le Sauveur est né. 
Hi-han ! Hi-han ! Alleluia ! 
Avec l’âne, chantons gaiement.
 
Chantons Jésus, Roi de la Terre.
Hi-Han ! Hi-Han ! Alleluia ! 
O ma dame, le bel enfant! 
Voyez comme il prend bien le sein !
Fermez la porte, mon ami, 
De peur qu’il n’attrape du mal. 

Prenez mon manteau, Notre Dame, 
Et permettez que je réchauffe, 
Entre mes mains, ses petits pieds. 

Hi-han ! Hi-han ! Alleluia ! 
Avec l’âne, chantons gaiement, 
Chantons Jésus, Roi de la terre. 
Hi-han ! Hi-han ! Alleluia ! 
Compagnons, le Sauveur est né. 
A quoi songez-vous, Sainte Mère ? 
Chut ! Chut ! Que le petit dorme. 
Pourquoi pâlissez vous, Marie ? 
Doux ! Doux ! Doux ! Que l’enfant repose, 
Car le jour viendra, bonnes gens,
Qu’il souffrira pour nos péchés 
Et qu’il mourra de mort amère. 
Noël ! Noël ! Noël ! Nouveau Noël !
