Il est né le Divin Enfant
Jouez hautbois, résonnez musettes
Il est né le Divin Enfant
Chantons tous son avènement

Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous le promettaient les prophètes
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous attendons cet heureux temps

Chorus

Ah! Qu’il est beau, qu’il est charmant
Que ses grâces sont parfaites
Ah! Qu’il est beau, qu’il est charmant
Qu’il est doux ce Divin Enfant

Une étable son logement
Un peu de paille est sa couchette
Une étable est son logement
Pour un Dieu quel abaissement

English Translation

He is born, the Divine Child.
Play the oboes and let the bagpipes ring.
He is born, the Divine Child.
Let us all sing about his coming.

For more than four thousand years,
the prophets promised his coming.
For more than four thousand years,
we have waited for this happy time.

Chorus

Oh! How beautiful and charming he is.
His grace is perfect.
Oh! How beautiful and charming he is.
This Divine Child is so gentle.

A stable is his home.
A little straw is his bed.
A stable is his home.
For a God, this is great humility.
