Refrain

Allon, gay, gay, gay, Bergeres,
Allon, gay, soyez legeres, Suyvez moy.

1.

Allon, allon voir le Roy,
Qui du ciel en terre est nay,
Allon, gay ...

2.

Un beau present luy feray, De quoy?
De ce flageollet que j'ay tant gay.
Allon, gay ...

3.

Un gâteau luy donneray,
Et moy, Plain hanap luy offriray, Gay, gay!
Allon, gay ...

4.

Ho, ho! Paix-la! Je le voy;
Il tette bien sans le doigt, le petit Roy!

Coda

Allon, gay, gay, gay Bergeres,
Allon, gay, soyez legeres, Le Roy boit!

Refrain

Let's go gaily, Shepherdesses,
Let's go gaily, be light, follow me.

1.

Let's go see the King,
Who from heaven is born on Earth.
Let's go gaily ...

2.

I'll make him an attractive present, of what?
This tin whistle that I have, so gay.
Let's go gaily ...

3.

I will give him a cake.
And me, I'll offer him a full drinking cup.
Let's go gaily ...

4.

Oh, oh, hush! I see him;
He's nursing well, not with his thumb, the little King!

Coda:

Let's go gaily, Shepherdesses
Let us go gaily, be light, the King is drinking!
