You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.This charming poem by Théophile Gautier was published in 1861 under the title "Le Jésus des neiges: Noël". It has also been set to music by Alain Jacques. Literal translation (AJ):
1. The sky is black, the earth is white, Bells ring gaily a peal, Jesus is born, the Virgin tilts Over him her charming face.
2. No festooned rangings To protect the child from the cold; Only spider webs Hanging from the beams of the roof.
3. He shivers on the cool straw This darling little baby Jesus, And to warm him up in his manger The donkey and the ox are blowing on him.
4. The snow to the thatch is sewing fringes, But on the roof opens the sky And, all in white, the choir of the angels Sings to the shepherds: Noël, Noël!
