The First Nowell
Le Premier Noël
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Le Premier Noël, les anges ont dit
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
Était à certains pauvres bergers dans les champs comme ils étaient
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
Dans les champs où ils étaient couchés gardant leurs brebis
On a cold winter′s night that was so deep.
Par une nuit d'hiver froide qui était si profonde.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Le Roi d'Israël est né !
They looked up and saw a star
Ils ont levé les yeux et ont vu une étoile
Shining in the East beyond them far
Brillant à l'est au-delà d'eux
And to the earth it gave great light
Et à la terre, elle a donné une grande lumière
And so it continued both day and night.
Et ainsi il a continué jour et nuit.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Le Roi d'Israël est né !
And by the light of that same star
Et à la lumière de cette même étoile
Three Wise men came from country far
Trois sages hommes sont venus d'un pays lointain
To seek for a King was their intent
Pour chercher un roi était leur intention
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Et pour suivre l'étoile où qu'elle aille.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Le Roi d'Israël est né !
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Cette étoile s'est approchée du nord-ouest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
Au-dessus de Bethléem, elle s'est reposée
And there it did both Pause and stay
Et là, elle a fait une pause et est restée
Right o′er the place where Jesus lay.
Juste au-dessus de l'endroit où Jésus était couché.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Le Roi d'Israël est né !
Then entered in those Wise men three
Puis sont entrés ces trois sages hommes
Full reverently upon their knee
Pleinement révérencieusement à genoux
And offered there in His presence
Et offert là en sa présence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Son or, sa myrrhe et son encens.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Le Roi d'Israël est né !
Then let us all with one accord
Alors, chantons tous d'un commun accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Les louanges à notre Seigneur céleste
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
Qui a fait le ciel et la terre de rien
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Et avec son sang, l'humanité a acheté.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Le Roi d'Israël est né !
