Ehstehn yayau deh tsaun we yisus ahattonnia
O na wateh wado: kwi nonnwa 'ndasqua entai
Ehnau sherskwa trivota nonnwa 'ndi yaun rashata

Iesus Ahattonnia, Ahattonnia, Iesus Ahattonnia.

Ayoki onki hm-ashe eran yayeh raunnaun
Yauntaun kanntatya hm-deh 'ndyaun sehnsatoa ronnyaun
Waria hnawakweh tond Yosehf sataunn haronnyaun
Iesus Ahattonnia, Ahattonnia, Iesus Ahattonnia.

Chretiens, prenez courage,
Jesus Sauveur est ne!
Du malin les ouvrages
A jamais sont ruines.
Quand il chante merveille,
A ces troublants appas
Ne pretez plus l'oreille:
Jesus est ne, Iesus Ahattonnia.

Oyez cette nouvelle,
Dont un ange est porteur!
Oyez! ames fideles,
Et dilatez vos coeurs.
La Vierge dans l'etable
Entoure de ses bras
L'Enfant-Dieu adorable.
Jesus est ne, Iesus Ahattonnia.

Let Christian men take heart today
The devil's rule is done;
Let no man heed the devil more,
For Jesus Christ is come
But hear ye all what angels sing:
How Mary Maid bore Jesus King.
Iesus Ahattonnia, Jesus is born, Iesus Ahattonnia.

Three chieftains saw before Noel
A star as bright as day,
"So fair a sign," the chieftains said,
"Shall lead us where it may."
For Jesu told the chieftains three:
"The star will bring you here to me."
Iesus Ahattonnia, Jesus is born, Iesus Ahattonnia.

Huron Carol

It was Christmas night when Jesus was born.
I will tell you something that I heard someone say.
Shepherd's were watching their sheep in the field in the night.

Jesus is born, born is Jesus Christ.

And the angels in heaven above were singing joyfully.
The wise men journeyed from the East to follow the star to the city of Bethlehem.
Mary rocked him in a cradle, and Joseph he sang a song.
Jesus is born, born is Jesus Christ.

Christians, take courage.
Jesus our Savior is born!
Of the devil's work.
Forever they are ruined.
When he sings his wonders.
To those troubling devils,
No longer lend an ear:
Jesus is born, Jesus is born.

Hear this news.
An angel is carrying it!
Hear it! Faithful souls.
And expand your hearts.
The Virgin in the stable.
Surrounded by his arms.
The adorable Child-God.
Jesus is born, Jesus is born.

Let Christian men take heart today
The devil's rule is done;
Let no man heed the devil more,
For Jesus Christ is come
But hear ye all what angels sing:
How Mary Maid bore Jesus King.
Jesus is born, Jesus is born.

Three chieftains saw before Noel
A star as bright as day,
"So fair a sign," the chieftains said,
"Shall lead us where it may."
For Jesu told the chieftains three:
"The star will bring you here to me."
Jesus is born, Jesus is born.
