Lyrics - French

(Canadian folk song)

Saint Nicolas, patron des écoliers,
Apportez-moi du sucre dans mon petit panier.
Je serai toujours sage comme un petit mouton,
Je dirai mes prières pour avoir des bonbons.
Venez, venez Saint Nicolas,
Venez, venez Saint Nicolas,
Venez, venez Saint Nicolas,
Tralala!

English Translation – Come come St. Nicholas

Saint Nicholas, patron saint of schoolchildren,
Bring me some sugar in my little basket.
I will always be as good as a little sheep,
I will say my prayers to have candy.
Come, come Saint Nicholas,
Come, come Saint Nicholas,
Come, come Saint Nicholas,
Tralala!
