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.


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.

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

I will sing for the blessed babe
On this joyous 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
I will sing for the blessed babe
On this joyous christmas day.


Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. come and hear them patapan.
Bring your little drum.

Robin get your fife and come.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. come and hear them patapan.
Men of olden days

Gave the king of kings their praise.
On this joyous christmas.
Bring your little drum.

Robin get your fife and come.
Come be merry.
