Refrain

There were plums and prunes and cherries
There were raisins and currants and cinnamon too.
There were nuts and cloves and berries
but the crust it was stuck on with glue.
There were caraway seeds in abundance,
It would give yer a fine stomach ache
'Twould kill any man twice to be eatin'
A slice of Mrs Hooligan's Christmas cake.
As I sat in me window last evenin'
A letterman came unto me.
He'd a nice little neat invitation
Sayin' "Won't you come over to tea?"
I kNEW it was Hooligan sent it
So I went for our friendship's sake
And the first thing he gave me to tackle
Was a slice of Mrs. Hooligan's cake.

Ease my spirit
Ease my soul
Please free my hands from this barren soil
Ease my mother
Ease my child
Earth and sky be reconciled
Rain
Weave my mother
Weave my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild
Weave my mother
Weave my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild
Under the sun comes the hunger to everyone
Famine's teeth
Famine's claws
On the sands of Africa
Rain
Weave my mother
Weave my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild
Weave my mother
Weave my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild

My English version here is a singing translation, so feel free to sing along in English :-)
Guillaume prends ton tambourin
Toi, prends ta flûte, Robin;
Au son de ces instruments
"Turelurelu, patapatapan"
Au son de ces instruments
Je dirai Noel gaîment.
Willie take your little drum
With your flute oh Robin come
With the sound of flute and drum
tootle tootle toot, bing a bang a boom
with the flute and with the drum
I will say Nowell with JOY.
C'était la mode autrefois
De louer le Roi des rois
Au son de ces instruments
"Turelurelu, patapatapan"
Au son de ces instruments
Il nous en faut faire autant.
In the goodly olden days
The king of kings we'd praise
with the drum and with the flute
tootle tootle toot, bing a bang a boom,
with the flute and with the drum
we should do alike just so less

poem translated into English by S N Solomons,
music composed and performed (multitrack) by D W Solomons (dwsChorale)
The sky is dark, the earth is white,
oh bells ring out with JOY
Jesus is born, the Virgin quiet
shelters her baby boy.
Noel Noel Noel
bells ring out with JOY!
No wraps No festooned curtains
spread to shield the child from frost
nothing but flimsy spider webs
trail from the beams aloft.
He shivers in that cold stable
this Jesus child so dear,
and so to warm him in the cradle,
the ass and ox draw near.
The snow hangs down in lacy fringe.
But far above the heavens swell
reveal the angel choir that sings to men
