[Chorus]
Il est ne, le divin Enfant
Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes;
Il est ne, le divin Enfant;
Chantons tous son avenement!

[Verse 1]
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous le promettaient les Prophetes;
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous attendions cet heureux temps

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Ah! qu'll est beau, qu'il est charmant
Que ses graces sont parfaites!
Ah! qu'll est beau, qu'll est charmant
Qu'il est doux le divin Enfant!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Une etable est son logement
Unpeu de paille, sa couchette
Une etable est son logement
Pour un Dieu, quel abaissement!

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
O Jesus! O Roi tout puissant!
Tout petit enfant que vous etes
O Jesus! O Roi tout puissant!
Regnez sur nous entierement!

[Chorus]

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
