TRANSLATION
1. William, take your drum,
Take your flute, Robin.
To the sound of these instruments...
I will say Noel cheerfully.

2. It was in the fashion of yesteryear
to praise the King of kings.
To the sound of these instruments...
we have to do as much.

3. Man and God are more in agreement
than the flute and the drum.
To the sound of these instruments...
Let's sing, let's dance, let's jump!
