CHUT, CHUT, CHUT (Occitan)
Languedoc version
Dins un establet aval
Es nascut polit Nadal
Dins una grèpia de rocada
Ame de palha per flaçada…
|:Chut, chut, chut
Que l’enfant dòrm
Pas tant de bruch.:|
Lo cordonièr ven exprès
Per li faire de solièrs.
Pim, pam, pom, pica la semèla
Mas Sant Josèp lèu l'interpèla…
L’amolaire qu'a pas set
Vòl li faire un cotelet.
A virar la mòla s'aprèsta
Mas Sant Josèp viste l'arrèsta…
Puèi es vengut un fustièr
Li faire un brèç de noguièr.
N'es a la primièira vireta
Que Sant Josèp li ditz "pauseta"…
Tres femnòtas per lo mens
Pòrtan ensemble de presents.
Caduna vòl parlar primièira
Cridan coma de peissonièiras…
Aquí los mages Gaspard
Melquiòr e Baltasar.
Tanlèu lo pòble los aclama
E Sant Josèp solet s'exclama… | SHUSH, SHUSH, SHUSH
In a little cowshed down there,
The pretty Child was born
In a stony manger
With some straw as a blanket…
|:Shush, shush, shush,
The child's sleeping,
Don't make so much noise.:|
The shoemaker comes on purpose
To make him shoes.
Pim, pam, poom, he hits on the sole
But Saint Joseph soon calls out to him…
The grinder who's not thirsty
Wants to make a penknife for him.
He's about to spin the grinding wheel
But Saint Joseph quickly stops him…
Then a carpenter came
To make him a walnut wood cradle.
He's doing the first turn
When Saint Joseph tells him "Break!"…
Three little women at least
Bring presents together.
Each one wants to speak first,
They shout like fishmongers…
There comes the Magi Gaspar,
Melchior and Balthazar.
At once the people cheers them
And Saint Joseph, alone, exclaims… |
