Les anges dans nos campagnes (english lyrics)

Angels in our countryside
Sang the anthem of heaven,
And the echo of our mountains
The melodious sounds:
Glo ... o. .. o. .. ria in excelsis Deo
Glo ... o. .. o. .. ria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, for whom this feast?
What is the purpose of all these songs?
What birth and what conquest
Deserve triumphant cries?
Glo ... o. .. o. .. ria in excelsis Deo
Glo ... o. .. o. .. ria in excelsis Deo

They announce the birth
The deliverer of Israel
And our hearts full of gratitude
Sing on this solemn day.
Glo ... o. .. o. .. ria in excelsis Deo
Glo ... o. .. o. .. ria in excelsis Deo
