Lyrics and translation Traditional feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge & Philip Ledger - Traditional / Arr. Rutter: Sans Day Carol

Traditional / Arr. Rutter: Sans Day Carol

Chanson traditionnelle / Arr. Rutter: Sans Jour Noël

Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk

Maintenant, le houx porte une baie aussi blanche que le lait

And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus, tout enveloppé de soie

And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus-Christ, notre Sauveur, pour être

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Holly, holly

Houx, houx

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass

Maintenant, le houx porte une baie aussi verte que l'herbe

And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus, qui est mort sur la croix

And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus-Christ, notre Sauveur, pour être

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Holly, holly

Houx, houx

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal

Maintenant, le houx porte une baie aussi noire que le charbon

And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus, qui est mort pour nous tous

And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus-Christ, notre Sauveur, pour être

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Holly, holly

Houx, houx

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Now the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red

Maintenant, le houx porte une baie, rouge comme le sang

Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead

Alors ayons confiance en notre Sauveur, qui est ressuscité des morts

And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour for to be

Et Marie a donné naissance à Jésus, notre Sauveur, pour être

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx

Holly, holly

Houx, houx

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Et le premier arbre dans la forêt, c'était le houx
