Le Noël des oiseaux
Music: Cécile Chaminade (1857–1944) · Words: Armand Silvestre (1837–1901)
Petit Jésus, maître du ciel, Que les anges
chantant Noël Veillent sous leur blancheurs
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:56) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Petit Jésus, maître du ciel, Que les anges
chantant Noël Veillent sous leur blancheurs
ailées, Viens donc, viens donc pour les petits
oiseaux Qui frissonnent au bord des eaux
Gelées. Bonnes gens qui sur le chemin
Passez, un rosaire à la main, Dont l’âme a des
avés pour ailes, Priez, priez pour les
petits oiseaux Dont la neige a trempé les os
Si frèles.
Cloches sonores au doux bruit,
Qui pour la messe de minuit Au fond de l’air
tintez agiles, Sonnez, sonnez pour les
petits oiseaux, Les nids sont frères des
berceaux Fragiles. Beaux anges,
nos frères ailés, Qui près de la crèche
volez, Vous que Dieu sur la terre envoie,
Apportez, apportez aux petits oiseaux
Grelottant parmi les roseaux La joie.
