V-ro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Les anges dans nos campagnes
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
Qui l'a vu naître sous ses toits,
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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to V-ro's song Les anges dans nos campagnes are a beautiful rendition of the famous Christmas carol known in English as "Angels We Have Heard on High". The song begins by describing how the angels in the countryside have sung the hymn of heaven, and the echo of the mountains repeats the melodious song. The chorus repeats the Latin phrase "Gloria in excelsis Deo," which translates to "Glory to God in the highest."


The second verse urges everyone to seek out the happy village where Jesus was born and offer tender homage from our hearts and voices. The final verse calls upon the shepherds to leave their retreats and join in singing with the angels. The song encourages the shepherds to play their musettes, a type of French bagpipe, and make the song even more beautiful.


Overall, the lyrics are a call to come together in celebration of the birth of Jesus and to lift our voices in praise to God. The repetition of "Gloria in excelsis Deo" emphasizes our joy and gratitude for the gift of Jesus and the love of God.
