Lyrics and translation Dick Haymes - Cradle Song of the Virgin
Cradle Song of the Virgin
Chanson berceuse de la Vierge
The
Virgin
stills
the
crying
La
Vierge
calme
les
pleurs
Of
Jesus,
sleepless
lying;
De
Jésus,
allongé
sans
sommeil
;
And
singing
for
His
pleasure,
Et
chantant
pour
son
plaisir,
She
calls
mothers
Treasure,
Elle
appelle
le
Trésor
des
mères,
"My
Darling,
do
not
weep,
"Mon
chéri,
ne
pleure
pas,
My
Jesu,
sleep!"
Mon
Jésus,
dors
!"
O
Lamb,
my
love
inviting,
Ô
Agneau,
mon
amour
qui
m'invite,
O
Star,
my
soul
delighting,
Ô
Étoile,
mon
âme
ravie,
O
Flower
of
mine
own
bearing,
Ô
Fleur
de
mon
propre
porter,
O
Jewel
past
comparing!
Ô
Joyau
incomparable
!
My
Darling,
do
not
weep,
Mon
chéri,
ne
pleure
pas,
My
Jesu,
sleep!
Mon
Jésus,
dors
!"
Say,
would'st
Thou
heavenly
sweetness,
Dis,
voudrais-tu
une
douceur
céleste,
Or
love
of
answering
meetness?
Ou
l'amour
d'une
rencontre
digne
?
O
is
fit
music
wanting?
Ô
est-ce
que
la
musique
appropriée
manque
?
Ho!
Angels,
raise
your
chanting!
Ho
! Anges,
levez
vos
chants
!
"My
Darling,
do
not
weep,
"Mon
chéri,
ne
pleure
pas,
My
Jesu,
sleep!"
Mon
Jésus,
dors
!"
