Our translations: CAT CHI ENG ENG
Les anges les anges dans le ciel
L’un est vêtu en officier
L’un est vêtu en cuisinier
Et les autres chantent
Bel officier couleur du ciel
Le doux printemps longtemps après Noël
Te médaillera d’un beau soleil
D’un beau soleil
Le cuisinier plume les oies
Ah ! tombe neige
Tombe et que n’ai-je
Ma bien-aimée entre mes bras

The angels the angels in the sky
Language: English after the French (Français)
The angels the angels in the sky
One is dressed as an officer
One is dressed as a chef
And the others are singing.
Fine officer the color of the sky
The sweet Spring long after Christmas
Will pin to your chest a lovely sun
A lovely sun
The chef plucks the geese
Ah! Let the snow fall
Fall and why don't I have
My beloved in my arms
