Un Flambeau Jeanette Isabella (Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella)

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!
Bring a torch, to Bethlehem come!
Christ is born. Tell the folk of the village
Mary has laid him in a manger.
Ah! Ah!beautifulis the Mother!
Ah! Ah! beautiful is her child!

Who is that, knocking on the door?
Who is it, knocking like that?
Open up, we’ve arranged on a platter
Lovely cakes that we have brought here
Knock! Knock! Knock! Open the door for us!
Knock! Knock! Knock! Let’s celebrate!

It is wrong when the Baby is sleeping,
It is wrong to speak so loud.
Silence, now as you gather around,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus.
Hush! Hush! see how the Baby slumbers;
Hush! Hush! see how the Baby sleeps!

Softly now unto the stable,
Softly for a moment come!
Look and see how charming is Jesus,
Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy!
Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping;
Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!

Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle
Un flambeau, courons au berceau.
Cest Jsus, bonnes gens du hameau,
Le Christ est n, Marie appelle
Ah! Ah! Que la mre est belle
Ah! Ah! Que lEnfant est beau.

Qui vient l frappant de la sorte
Qui vient l frappant comme a.
Ouvrez donc jai pos sur un plat
De bons gteaux quici japporte.
Toc! Toc! Ouvrez-nous la porte
Toc! Toc! Faisons grand gala.

Cest un tort quand lEnfant sommeille
Cest un tort de crier si fort.
Taisez-vous lun et lautre dabord,
Au moindre bruit Jsus sveille
Chut! Chut! Il dort merveille
Chut! Chut! Voyez comme Il dort.

Doucement dans ltable close
Doucement venez un moment
Approchez! Que Jsus est charmant,
Comme Il est blanc, comme Il est rose
Do! Do! Que lEnfant repose
Do! Do! QuIl rie en dormant.
