Lyrics and translation Traditional feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge & David Willcocks - Traditional / Arr. Sullivan: "It came upon the midnight clear"




Traditional / Arr. Sullivan: "It came upon the midnight clear"
Traditional / Arr. Sullivan: "It came upon the midnight clear"
It came upon the midnight clear
C'est dans la nuit noire qu'est arrivé
That glorious song of old
Ce chant glorieux du temps jadis
From angels bending near the earth
Des anges, se penchant près de la terre
To touch their harps of gold
Pour toucher leurs harpes d'or
Peace on the earth, good will to men
Paix sur la terre, bonne volonté aux hommes
From Heaven′s all-gracious King
Du Roi tout-gracieux du Ciel
The world in solemn stillness lay
Le monde, dans un silence solennel, reposait
To hear the angels sing
Pour entendre les anges chanter
Still through the cloven skies they come
Toujours, à travers les cieux fendus, ils viennent
With peaceful wings unfurled
Avec des ailes paisibles déployées
And still their heavenly music floats
Et toujours, leur musique céleste flotte
O'er all the weary world
Sur tout le monde las
Above its sad and lowly plains
Au-dessus de ses plaines tristes et basses
They bend on hovering wing
Ils se penchent sur une aile qui plane
And ever o′er its Babel-sounds
Et toujours, au-dessus de ses bruits de Babel
The blessed angels sing
Les anges bénis chantent
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
Mais, avec les maux du péché et de la discorde
The world has suffered long
Le monde a longtemps souffert
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Sous le chant des anges ont roulé
Two thousand years of wrong
Deux mille ans de tort
And man at war with man, hears not
Et l'homme, en guerre contre l'homme, n'entend pas
The love song which they bring
La chanson d'amour qu'ils apportent
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
Oh, tais le bruit, hommes de discorde
And hear the angels sing!
Et écoute les anges chanter !
For lo, the days are hastening on
Car, vois, les jours s'accélèrent
By prophet bards foretold
Comme les prophètes-bardes l'avaient prédit
When with the ever circling years
Lorsque, avec les années qui tournent sans cesse
Shal come the age of gold
Vient l'âge d'or
When peace shall over all the earth
Lorsque la paix couvrira toute la terre
Its ancient splendors fling
Ses anciennes splendeurs se répandent
And the whole world give back the song
Et le monde entier renvoie le chant
Which now the angels sing
Que chantent maintenant les anges
