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 to play
For the joy of Christmas day

Oo oh oh oh oh

God and man 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 wing
To the newborn King
I will sing for the blessed Babe
On this joyous Christmas day

God and man 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 wing
To the newborn King
I will sing for the blessed Babe
On this joyous Christmas day

(Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. Come and hear them patapan.)
Bring your little drum
Robin, get your fife and come
(Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. Come and hear them patapan.)
Men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
(On this joyous Christmas day)
Bring your little drum
Robin, get your fife and come
(Come be merry)
Men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
(On this joyous Christmas day.)
Bring your little drum
Robin, get your fife and come
(Come be merry)
Men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
(On this joyous Christmas day)
