Guillô prends ton tambourin

Toi prends ta flûte robin

Au son de ces instruments

Tu re lu re lu pat a pat a pan

Au son de ces instruments

Je dirai noël gaiement

When the men of olden days

Gave the king of kings their praise

They had pipes on which to play

Tu re lu re lu pat a pat a pan

They had drums on which to play

For the joy of Christmas day

God and man became today

More in tune than fife and drum

So be merry while you play

Tu re lu re lu pat a pat a pan

Come be merry while you play

On this joyous Christmas day

While the angels wing

To the newborn king

On this joyous Christmas day

Willie bring your little drum

Robin get your fife and come

And be merry while you play

Tu re lu re lu pat a pat a pan

We will listen as you play

For the joy for Christmas day

When the men of olden days

Gave the king of kings their praise

They had pipes on which to play

Tu re lu re lu pat a pat a pan

They had drums on which to play

For the joy of Christmas day

While the angels wing

To the newborn king

This joyous Christmas day
