Choir of Winchester Cathedral feat. David Hill - Bethlehem Down - translation of the lyrics into French




Bethlehem Down
Bethléem
When he is king, we will give him the king's gifts
Quand il sera roi, nous lui offrirons les cadeaux royaux
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown
De la myrrhe pour sa douceur et de l'or pour une couronne
"Beautiful robes", said the young girl to Joseph
« De belles robes », dit la jeune fille à Joseph
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down
Belle avec son premier-né sur la colline de Bethléem
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight
La colline de Bethléem est pleine de lumière des étoiles
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold
Des vents pour les épices et des étoiles pour l'or
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music
Marie pour le sommeil et pour la musique d'une berceuse
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold
Les chants d'un berger près du pli de Bethléem
When he is king, they will clothe him in grave-sheets
Quand il sera roi, ils le vêtiront de linaires
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown
De la myrrhe pour l'embaumement et du bois pour une couronne
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary
Celui qui repose maintenant dans les bras blancs de Marie
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down
Dormant si légèrement sur la colline de Bethléem
Here he has peace and a short while for dreaming
Ici, il a la paix et un moment pour rêver
Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold
Des bœufs serrés pour le protéger du froid
Mary for love, and for lullaby music
Marie pour l'amour et pour la musique d'une berceuse
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem Down
Les chants d'un berger près du pli de Bethléem
