[VERSE 1]
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella,
Bring a torch, to the cradle run!
It is Jesus, good folk of the village;
Christ is born and Mary's calling:
Ah! Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the Mother!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Beautiful is Her Son!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Que la Mère est belle,
Ah! Ah! Ah! Que l'Enfant est beau!

[VERSE 2]
Who is that, knocking on the door?
Who is it, knocking like that?
Open up, we've arranged on a platter
Lovely cakes that we have brought here
Knock! Knock! Open the door for us!
Knock! Knock! Let's celebrate!

Toc! Toc! Ouvrons-nous la porte! (la porte)
Toc! Toc! Faisons grand gala! (grand gala)

[VERSE 3]
It is wrong when the Child is sleeping,
It is wrong to talk so loud
Silence, all, as you gather around,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus:
Hush! Hush! See how fast He slumbers;
Hush! Hush! See how fast He sleeps!

Chut! chut! Il dort à merveille, (à merveille)
Chut! chut! Voyez comme il dort! (comme il dort)

[VERSE 4]
Softly to the little stable,
Softly for a moment come;
Look and see how charming is Jesus,
How He is white, His cheeks are rosy!
Hush! Hush! See how the Child is sleeping;
Hush! Hush! See how He smiles in dreams!

Do! Do! Que l'Enfant repose! (l'Enfant repose)
Do! Do! Qu'il rit en dormant! (rit en dormant)
