Glory Alleluia!
La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où des bergers étonnés levèrent les yeux vers le ciel Une étoile semblait dire "Suivez-moi, je vous conduis Il est né cette nuit!"
Ils ont suivi cette étoile Sur les chemins de Judée Et des quatre coins du monde D'autres les ont imité Et ce chant, comme une source A traversé le pays Il est né cette nuit!
La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où, au cur de tous les hommes Un peu d'amour descend du ciel Tant de choses les séparent Cette étoile les unit C'est la plus belle nuit!

There is a Child born of our blessed Virgin
I heard a Maid lullaby to sing
Peace, my dear Child, of thy weeping
For thou shalt be our Heavenly King
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O Mother! O Mother! your wishes are nought
It is not for me such carols are wrought
Such carols were never by woman thought
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O my dear Son, why sayest thou so?
Thou art my Son, I have no moe
When Gabriel begot thee, full of grace
Thou needest not tell me of this case
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O they will thrust, Mother, my head from my hair
With a crown of thorns they will me not spare
And with the sharp spears my heart will tear
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O come you here, Mother, and you shall see
My hands and my feet nailed to the rood tree
And my feet, Mother, are fastned thereby
A vile sight, Mother for you to see
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
And now sing we more or less
And welcome be this merry Christmas

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians Would be to capture me But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you I shall never, never know It's not that you're attractive But, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time give me sign I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage That we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

I got up this morning While I was having my coffee My woman came in, sat down by my side With tears in her eyes She said ´I´ve a confession to make´ I said ´Woman, speak what´s on your mind´
She said ´I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´
´All those lonely nights You left me all alone My true love would call And talk to me on the phone´ I said ´Woman, if that´s the way it´s gotta be Then darlin, don´t you worry about me´
She said ´ I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´
I got up from the table Reached down and wiped the tears From her face I put out my cigarette Turned and walked away
She said ´I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´

People making lists, buying special gifts It's a time to be kind to one and all It's that time of year when good friends are dear And you wish you could give more Than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) Oh even the man who has everything Would be so happy if you would bring Him love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smiling out hello Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy It's that once a year, when the world's sincere And you'd like to find a way To show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) The man on the street and the couple upstairs All need to know that there's one cares Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love What the world needs is love Yes the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas Day) Oh every little child on Santa's knee Has room for your love underneath his tree Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love What the world needs is love Yes the world needs your love
