Thread Name: Lyr Add: Douce Nuit / Silent Night (in French)
Subject: Lyr Add: MINUIT, CHRÉTIENS / O HOLY NIGHT
This one I remember from my 10th grade French class. Now don't ask me what a Jewish kid from Philly is doing singing this song...but I sang it at our office Christmas party last week! (If somebody could put the accents in, I'd appreciate it...haven't mastered that trick yet. I'm also not as certain of the spelling as I am of the pronunciation.)

MINUIT, CHRÉTIENS

Minuit chretiens, c'est l'heure solonelle
Ou l'Homme Dieu descendit jusqu'a nous
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de son pere arretait le courroux
Le monde entier tressaille d'esperance
A cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur

Peuple, a genoux!
Attend ta deliverance!
Noel, noel, voici le redempteur
Noel, noel, voici le redempteur


Aloha,
Mark
