Newsflash - Holiday Party on Dec 18

Dur dur d'être bébé! - by Jordy

Fun Fact - Jordy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest singer ever to have a #1 charted single. He achieved this feat at the tender age of four and a half with the song "Dur dur d'être bébé!" ("It's Tough to Be a Baby" (Child)). "Dur dur d'être bébé" was #1 for 15 weeks in France and was a dance hit across Europe, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Japan. It landed at #58 on the US charts.

Lesson 01


Notre Père / Our Father

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
que ton nom soit sanctifié,
que ton règne vienne,
que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses,
comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
mais délivre nous du Mal.

Amen


La Tour Eiffel / The Eiffel Tower

Designed by Gustave Eiffel and built for the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889 (World's Fair), the Eiffel Tower commemorated a century from the French Revolution. It was inaugurated on March 31, 1889. At 1,710 steps and 1,050 feet high it was the tallest building in the world until 1929.

Un Flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle!
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!

The carol tells the story of two milkmaids, Jeanette and Isabella, who went to milk their cows in a manger in Bethlehem, only to find the baby Jesus sleeping in the hay. The two girls ran to town to tell the village of the coming of Christ, and the townspeople came with their own torches to view the sight for themselves.

Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle,
Un Flambeau, courons au berceau!
C'est Jésus, bonnes gens du hameau;
Le Christ est né, Marie appelle!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Que la mère est belle,
Ah! Ah! Ah! Que l'enfant est beau!

Come with torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Run unto the cradle, run!
Christ is born, all come before him;
Mary calls us to adore him!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Such a lovely mother;
Oh! Oh! Oh! Such a lovely son!
