	Story Behind the Song This is an English translation of the French text: Quickly, we must go to the sound of the song That I now hear Which fills,toure lourirette, Which fills, lan la derirette, Our fields and forests. Oh, most lovely night Of a most beautiful day, Incomparable night, Which from the sky, toure lourirette, Which from the sky, lan, la, derirette, Awakens love. Shepherds, assemble yourselves At this signal To go together To greet, toure lourirette, To greet, lan, la, derirette, The new born king. Lyrics Vite il faut nous rendre Au chant de la voix Que je viens d'entendre, Qui remplit, toure lourirette, Qui remplit, lan la derirette, Nos champs et nos bois, O nuit plus aimable Qui le plus beau jour, Nuit inestimable, Qui du ciel; Toure lourirette, Qui du ciel, Lan la derirette, Reveille l'amour. Bergers qu'on s'assemble Au signal donne Pour aller ensemble Saluer, Toure lourirette, Saluer, Lan la derirette, Le roi nouveau-ne.
