Entre le bœuf et l'âne gris - CHRISTMAS SONG

 Here's a link to the very pretty French Christmas Song that we've been learning in class.



If you're unsure about the meaning of the words, here's a translation. 

Verse 1

Between the ox and the grey donkey

The little son sleeps 

A thousand heavenly angels, a thousand seraphs

Fly around this God of Love!

Verse 2

Between the arms of Mary...

Verse 3

Between the roses and the lillies...
