These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Minuit chrétien
Christian Midnight
C'est l'heure solennelle
It's the solemn hour
Où l'homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous
Where the man God came down to us
Pour effacer la tache originelle
To erase the original stain
Et de son Père arrêter le courroux
And from his Father stop the wrath
Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance
The whole world trembles with hope
En cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur
In this night which gives him a Savior
Peuple à genoux
People on their knees
Attend ta délivrance
Wait for your deliverance
Noël, Noël
Christmas, Christmas
Voici le Rédempteur
Here is the Redeemer
Noël, Noël
Christmas, Christmas
Voici le Rédempteur
Here is the Redeemer
Le Rédempteur
The Redeemer
A brisé toute entrave
Has broken every barrier
La terre est libre
The earth is free
Et le ciel est ouvert
And the sky is open
Il voit un frère
He sees a brother
Où n'était qu'un esclave
Where was only a slave
L'amour unit ce qu'enchaînait le fer
Love unites what is chained by iron
Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance
Who will tell him our gratitude
C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît
It is for all of us that he is born
Qu'il souffre et meurt
That he suffers and dies
Peuple debout
People standing
Chante ta délivrance
Sing your deliverance
Noël, Noël
Christmas, Christmas
Chantons le Rédempteur
Let us sing to the Redeemer
Noël, Noël
Christmas, Christmas
Chantons le Rédempteur
Let us sing to the Redeemer
