Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ont entonné l'hymne des cieux
Et l'écho de nos montagnes
Redit ce chant mélodieux.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.
Cherchons tous l'heureux village
Offrons-Lui le tendre hommage
Et de nos coeurs et nos voix!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.
Bergers, quittez vos retraites,
Unissez-vous à leurs concerts
Et que vos tendres musettes
Fassent retenir dans les airs:
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.
