Chansons de noël Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah, comme il était mignon
Le p'tit renne au nez rouge
Rouge comme un lumignon
Son p'tit nez faisait rire
Chacun s'en moquait beaucoup
On allait jusqu'à dire
Une fée qui l'entendit
Pleurer dans le noir
Pour le consoler, lui dit
"Viens au paradis ce soir"
Comme un ange au Nez Rouge
Tu conduiras dans le ciel
Avec ton p'tit nez rouge
Le chariot du Père Noël
On l'appelait Nez Rouge
Ah, comme il était mignon
Le p'tit renne au nez rouge
Rouge comme un lumignon
Maintenant qu'il entraîne
Son char à travers les cieux
C'est lui le roi des rennes
Et son nez fait des envieux
Vous fillettes et garçons
Pour la grande nuit
Si vous savez vos leçons
Dès que sonnera minuit
Ce petit point qui bouge
Ainsi qu'une étoile au ciel
C'est le nez de Nez Rouge
Annonçant le Père Noël
The lyrics of "Rudolph Le Petit Renne Au Nez Rouge" tell the story of Rudolph, a small reindeer with a red nose that shines like a little lamp. Despite his unique feature, his red nose brings laughter and mockery from others. It is even suggested that Rudolph enjoys having a drink now and then, emphasizing his social outcast status.
However, a fairy overhears Rudolph crying in the dark and decides to comfort him by inviting him to heaven that night. In heaven, the fairy tells Rudolph that he will have a special role to play. He will guide Santa Claus's sleigh with his red nose, acting as an angel with a red nose to light the way through the sky.
Now that Rudolph is leading Santa Claus's sleigh through the skies, he has become the king of the reindeer. His shining red nose has become the envy of others. The song encourages all the boys and girls to pay attention and behave well on the magical night of Christmas. If they do so, they will see Rudolph's red nose moving like a star in the sky, announcing the arrival of Santa Claus.
Overall, the lyrics celebrate Rudolph, the underdog reindeer, who despite his differences and initial rejection, becomes a hero and integral part of Christmas tradition. The story carries a message of acceptance, the importance of finding one's unique strengths, and the ability to overcome obstacles with perseverance and courage.
