Name That Christmas Tune, day 18

[lumineaux]

Today we're going with the non-English edition.  So first, a little something for the French-speakers:

(1)  Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,
Nous le promettaient les Prophetes;
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,
Nous attendions cet heureux temps.


And some Latin:

(2) Ergo nostra contio psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino; salus regi nostro.


And some Catalan:

(3)  Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando
Por aqui volando haciendo mil sones
Diciendo a gascones Gloria sea en el Cielo
Y paz en el suelo pues Jesús nasciera.

Have fun with this  ;-)

The answers are: 


(1)  Il est n{e'} le divin enfant
(2)  Gaudete, Christus est natus
(3) Riu Riu Chiu

I know the 2nd one is 'Gaudete', no idea on the other two... :) Not even when I translate the french... hmmmm.

Same.

Definitely Gaudete for #2 - might #1 be "Il est ne le divin enfant?"

1) Il est n{e'} le divin enfant.

LOL re the Da'ud notation

1. Il est ne, le divin enfant

2. Onay eadray atinlay (shame Alexandre doesn't see this : )

3. While I can read the Catalan, much to my delight, I have no idea what the song is.

First one is "Ille est nes le divine enfant" or something like that. One of the first songs I learned in my high school french class that we sang at the top of our lungs.
