Joyeux Noël !

A little more than a week before ... Christmas ! How do you celebrate Christmas in Spain ? The British like singing Christmas carols. Here is a Christmas song all French children know by heart (at least the chorus) : listen to it and enjoy the magic of Christmas !
Joyeux Noël à tous !

Since you also learn French, here are the lyrics :

Petit Papa Noël

Refrain :
Petit papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.


C'est la belle nuit de Noël
La neige étend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux levés vers le ciel
À genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupières
Font une dernière prière.

Refrain :
Petit papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.


Mais avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
C'est un peu à cause de moi.

Il me tarde que le jour se lève
Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve
Et que je t'ai commandés.

Refrain

Le marchand de sable est passé
Les enfants vont faire dodo
Et tu vas pouvoir commencer
Avec ta hotte sur le dos
Au son des cloches des églises
Ta distribution de surprises.

Refrain

Si tu dois t'arrêter
Sur les toîts du monder entier
Tout seul avant demain matin
Mets-toi vite en chemin

Et quand tu seras sur ton beau nuage
Viens d'abord sur notre maison
Je n'ai pas été tous les jours bien sage
Mais je te demande pardon.

Refrain
