Thread Name: traditional Christmas carols in original languages
Subject: traditional Xmas carols in original languages
Hello, first time in the forum, couldn't find a faq, so please excuse me if I'm repeating an old, tired question. Is there an online resource which I can access to find my favorite Christmas carols in their original language? I am looking for more than just the first verse (which is what most English language songbooks list) of about a dozen translated songs. I know what is the original language for most of the songs and am familiar enough with pronunciation rules of those languages to give a fairly good phonetic rendition if I have the words, but am having problems hunting down said words. Sorry if this sounds a bit stilted and didactic, I'm just trying to be as clear as possible about what *exactly* I'm looking for. Please send email to: "ami.legare@hds.com" as I do not often have time to access an internet browser, but am online sending & receiving email most of the week. Also, please let me know if a list of song titles (in English) and/or foreign languages sought would be helpful. Thank you all in advance for any help you can offer.
