Little drummer boy

ome they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

L'enfant au tambour

Sur la route, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Petit tambour s'en va. Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Il sent son coeur qui bat, Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Au rythme de ses pas,
Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam-ram-pam-pam-pam
petit enfant,
O vas-tu?

Hier mon pre, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
A suivi le tambour. Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Le tambour des soldats, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Alors je vais au ciel, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
L je veux donner pour son retour
Mon tambour

Tous les anges, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Ont pris leurs beaux tambours
Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Et dit l'enfant
Ton pre est de retour
Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Et l'enfant s'veille
Pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Sur son tambour (4)
