What sweeter music - City of London Sinfonia , Choir of King's College, Cambridge , John Rutter translation in French




What sweeter music
Quelle musique plus douce
What sweeter music can we bring
Quelle musique plus douce pouvons-nous apporter
Than a carol, for to sing
Qu'un chant de Noël, pour chanter
The birth of this our heavenly King?
La naissance de notre roi céleste ?
Awake the voice, awake the string
Éveille la voix, réveille la corde
Dark and dull night, fly hence away
Nuit sombre et morne, fuis
And give the honour to this day
Et rends honneur à ce jour
That sees December turned to May
Qui voit décembre se transformer en mai
That sees December turned to May
Qui voit décembre se transformer en mai
Why does the chilling winter′s morn
Pourquoi le matin glacial de l'hiver
Smile like a field beset with corn?
Sourire comme un champ parsemé de maïs ?
Or smell like a meadow newly-shorn
Ou sentir comme une prairie fraîchement tondue
Thus, on the sudden come and see
Ainsi, sur le coup, viens voir
The cause, why things thus fragrant be
La cause, pourquoi les choses sont si parfumées
'Tis He is born, whose quickening birth
C'est Lui qui est né, dont la naissance rapide
Gives life and lustre, public mirth
Donne vie et éclat, joie publique
To Heaven and the under earth
Au ciel et à la terre
We see Him come, and know him ours
Nous le voyons venir, et nous le savons nôtre
Who with His sunshine and His showers
Qui avec son soleil et ses averses
Turns all the patient ground to flowers
Transforme tout le sol patient en fleurs
Turns all the patient ground to flowers
Transforme tout le sol patient en fleurs
The darling of the world is come
Le chéri du monde est venu
And fit it is, we find a room
Et il est juste que nous trouvions une chambre
To welcome Him, to welcome Him
Pour l'accueillir, pour l'accueillir
And all of heart of all the house here is the heart
Et tout le cœur de toute la maison ici est le cœur
Which we will give Him and bequeath
Que nous lui donnerons et léguerons
This holly and this ivy wreath
Cette couronne de houx et de lierre
To do Him honour, who′s our King
Pour lui rendre honneur, qui est notre roi
And Lord of all this revelling
Et Seigneur de toute cette fête
What sweeter music can we bring
Quelle musique plus douce pouvons-nous apporter
Than a carol, for to sing
Qu'un chant de Noël, pour chanter
The birth of this our heavenly King?
La naissance de notre roi céleste ?
The birth of this our heavenly King?
La naissance de notre roi céleste ?
