Entre le boeuf et l'ane gris — Lyrics
Entre le bœuf et l'âne gris,
Dors, dors, dors le petit fils:
Mille anges divins,
mille séraphins,
Volent à l'entour
de ce grand Dieu d'amour.
Entre les deux bras de Marie,
Dors, dors, dors le fruit de vie:
Mille anges divins,
mille séraphins,
Volent à l'entour
de ce grand Dieu d'amour.

About Entre le boeuf et l'ane gris
This traditional French Christmas carol offers a gentle and loving depiction of the Nativity. The text paints a serene scene of the infant Jesus sleeping peacefully, surrounded by a multitude of angels and cherubim who praise God. The lullaby-like refrain 'Dors, dors, dors' creates a tender atmosphere, inviting listeners to share in the quiet joy of the moment. This SSA setting captures the devotional spirit of the carol, making it an ideal choice for seasonal concerts or services. The French lyrics add a touch of classic European charm to the festive programming.
