Lyrics
La brillante saison ( english translation below ) Dehors tout est blanc Laissons courir nos cœurs d’enfants Habillons-nous comme des oignions Allons braver les flocons Bientot la veille de Noel Ouvrons tout grand nos ailes Semons l’esprit Qui ensemble nous reunit Quand j’etais jeune, la veille de Noel Je n’avais pas sommeil Je voulais voir le vieux genereux Qui rend les enfants heureux Et maintenant que je vois mes petits Qui n’en peuvent plus Je joue le role du monsieur gentil De rouge vetu Dans les arbres, mille lumieres Leur servent de bourgeons Qui celebrent dans notre hemisphere La brillante saison Solo Le vieux bonhomme qui brave l’hiver Pour dire a toute la terre Qu’il vaudrait mieux que nous soyons freres Il en a bien trop a faire Si tout le monde voulait l’encourager Dans son elan genereux Si on voulait l’aider a donner Le vieux serait bienheureux Si Noel durait toute l’annee Le bonheur de donner Ça rendrait le monde plus beau La vie serait un cadeau C’est le grand moment Qui rassemble les gens Ou les grands Reintegrent leurs cœurs d’enfants Words & Music : Michel Aubin - Michel Goudreau - David Élias ©Copyright 2009 by Michel Aubin & Michel Goudreau- SOCAN - ENGLISH TRANSLATION - The Sparkling Season Outside everything is white Let's let our young hearts run wild Get dressed in layers like onions Let's not be affraid of the snowflakes Soon it will be Christmas eve Open wide our wings Let's sow the spirit That reunites us together When I was young on Christmas Eve I couldn't fall asleep I wanted to see that old generous man That makes all children happy And now I see my little children That are waiting so anxiously Now I'm playing the part of the old generous man All dressed up in red In the trees are a thousand lights Pretending to be buds That celebrate in our hemisphere The sparkling season SOLO The old man defies winter To tell the whole world That it would be better if we were all brothers Because he's just too busy and has too much to do If everyone would encourage him In his giving ways If we'd help him give He would be so happy If Christmas lasted all year long Along with the spirit of giving It would make the world a nicer place Then life would be a gift Now is the big moment That reunites all people Where the older people rediscover their young hearts again
