Words
Entre le boeuf et l'âne grisDort, dort, dort le petit Fils.
Mille anges divins, mille séraphins,
Volent à l'entour de ce Dieu d'amour.
Entre les roses et les lys ...
Entre les pastoureaux jolis ...
Entre les deux bras de Marie ...
Translation
Between the ox and the grey donkey
Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps the little Son.
A thousand heavenly angels, a thousand seraphim
Hover around this God of love.
Among the roses and the lilies ...
Among the charming shepherds ...
Nestled in the arms of Mary ...
English singing version
With oxen and ass for company,
Dreams, dreams, dreams a little boy.
Angels at his head, seraphs by his bed,
Circle all around the God of love.
Wreathed by the rose and fair lily ...
Greeted by shepherds in their joy ...
Here in the arms of Mary ...
Dreams, dreams, dreams a little boy.
Angels all around, seraphim bow down,
Welcoming to earth the God of love.

Canasg sells sheet music for choirs …
… in PDF format, delivered by e-mail, with a licence to print as many copies, and as often, as you like. The copies are for the exclusive use of one ensemble, and the licence doesn't let you give, lend, hire or sell them to anybody else. Please read the detail before you buy.
Can’t see the music samples?
Some web browsers display a very odd presentation of our PDF samples, so that they don’t look like music at all. The browser will generally show a small-print warning like “This PDF document might not be displayed correctly”, and offer an “Open with different viewer” button. You can click that to get the PDF file displayed through Adobe Reader (or some equivalent). Then you’ll see the music as it should be, and as a printer will produce it.
Our music …
… is mostly by living composers writing in diverse contemporary styles. To explore our whole catalogue, or any of its sections, use the "catalog" link at the top left of this page.
