La nuit s’étend sur la terre, Il fait si-lence au dehorsAbandon-nous nos misères à qui bon souffrir encore?Toi qui pleures, et te lamentes, Prends espoir et te réveille.Ne res-te plus dans l’attente, viens voir l’en-fant qui sommeille.2. Oubliez peines et larmes, Et si vous souffrez encoreSoyez émus par les charmesDe cet enfant qui s’endortNoël enlève nos doutes,Joies passées, joies espérées,Létoile éclaire ma routeoù m’aide ce nouveau-né3. Oubliez ce qui nous blesseQue cesent nos trahisons!Que Noël soit jour de liesse,Qu’un enfant soit notre union.Que tous ceux qui se rassemblentVoyant nos cœurs rejouir.Nous aides à bâtir ensembleUn monde qui nous unit.
