by Léon Chancerel (1886 - 1965)

La mauvaise auberge
Language: French (Français) 
Saint Joseph:
Ho ! de l’auberge. Ouvrez ! 
Hé ho ! 

L’Hôtelier:
Qui va la ? 

Saint Joseph:
Nazareth est notre pays. 
Je m’appelle Joseph. 
Et voici ma femme Marie. 

L’Hôtelier:
Au large ! 

Saint Joseph:
Mon bon ami, prenez la peine de descendre. 
Et m’écoutez.

L’Hôtelier:
Je ne veux pas de baladins en ma maison. 

Saint Joseph:
En votre écurie, s’il vous plaît... 

L’Hôtelier:
Pour y mettre le feu. Merci ! 

Saint Joseph:
Ma femme est dans les douleurs. 
Elle attend le petit enfant.

L’Hôtelier:
Qu’elle aille pondre en l’auberge de la lune 
au carrefour des quatre vents. 
Chez moi, on ne reçoit que des gens bien. 

Saint Joseph:
Je paierai. 

L’Hôtelier:
Ouste ! ou je lâche le chien. 

Saint François:
En notre cœur, douce Pucelle, 
Daignez descendre et vous chauffer.
