Quel est ce chant si pur ? - Hugues Aufray перевод на английский

Quel est ce chant si pur ?

Pe trouz war an douar,
Pekan a glévan mé
Na kaer èo ar moueziou
A zeu eus lein an nenu
Aeled, oh! Laret d′imp
'Vit, petra e kanet
Peberzh burzug eta
Zo digouezet er bed?

Quel est ce chant si pur
Qui descend sur la terre?
D′où vient ce doux murmure
Qui monte dans les airs?
Serait-ce la voix d'un ange
Aux orgues de lumière
Qui chante les louanges
D'une nuit de mystère?

Écoutez ce silence
Qui règne sur la nuit
Voyez comme il s′avance
Ce couple qui s′enfuit.
Dans le sable et la neige
Il cherche un simple abri
Et sur ce petit âne
C'est la Vierge Marie.

Sous une étoile étrange
Voilà que s′accomplit
Le miracle de l'ange,
L′annonce faite à Marie.
Sous le regard des Mages,
Des bergers éblouis
Au terme du voyage
L'enfant Jésus sourit.

Chantons, chantons Noël
L′enfant Jésus est né
D'amour universel
Il vient pour nous parler
Chantez peuples fidèles,
Enfants du monde entier
Chantons, chantons Noël
L'amour des hommes est né!

What Is This Pure Song?

From afar on the earth,
Upon me descends a song
The castle is filled with music
That comes from the lily's loom
Winged man, oh! Tell me now
Swiftly, what is it that sings
What pure murmur is this
That has come to pass in the world?

What is this pure song
That descends on the earth?
From where comes this sweet murmur
That ascends into the air?
Could it be the voice of an angel
Singing upon the organs of light
Who sings the praises
Of a mysterious night?

Listen to this silence
That reigns over the night
See how the advancing
Couple flees.
In the sand and the snow
They seek simple shelter
And upon this small donkey
Is the Virgin Mary.

Beneath a strange star
Behold, it is accomplished
The miracle of the angel,
The announcement to Mary.
Beneat the watch of the Magi,
Of the dazzled shepherds
At the end of the journey
The infant Jesus smiles.

Sing, let us sing Christmas
The infant Jesus is born
Of universal love
He comes to speak to us
Sing, faithful peoples,
Children of the entire world
Sing, let us sing Christmas
The love of man is born!
