5th Grade Magnet - "Huron Carol"

Mr. Earl's and Ms. Epstein's classes -- here's our other song, "Huron Carol." There are three verses, one of which is in the native language, Wendat. This will present some challenges, but with a little less than a month to go, I think you can handle it.

Huron Carol
by Jean de Brébeuf, S.J.
adapted for Wonderland School

Wendat Verse

Ehsten yayan deh tsaun we
(Estan yah yun day t’sun way)

French Verse

Oyez cette nouvelle dont
(Oy-yea set novel le don)
Un ange est porteur!
(Un anjay es por-tur)
Oyez ames fideles,
(Oy-yea ahm fee-day-luh)
Et dilatez vos coeurs.
(Ay de-la-tay vo cur)
La Beau Mère dans l'étable
(La bow mare dan lay tablah)
Entoure de ces bras
(Entouray de say bra-ah)

L'enfant endormi belle.
(Law-fon endorme bell)
Endormi; L'enfant endormi belle.

English Verse

Let all good men take heart today
The devil’s rule is done
Let no man fear the shadow more
For peace on earth has come
Hear ye what all angels sing
Trumpets herald and drums proclaiming

Peace on earth has come
Peace on earth.
Peace on earth has come
