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 a joyful 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 you play
For the joy of Christmas day
Ohhhhh

God and men 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 ring
To the new born King
I will sing the blessed name
On this joyous Christmas day

God and men 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 ring
To the new born King
I will sing the blessed name
On this joyous Christmas day
