Mary Travers (known as “La Bolduc”) wrote mainly political and satirical songs, but also a number of New Year’s songs. However, this song is actually a Christmas song in which children are being admonished to go to bed early to ensure that when Santa arrives with his reindeer and gifts, he will be in a good mood. This arrangement is part of Dr. Laurier Fagnan’s series entitled La série enchantée.

LYRICS

On s’en va au magasin pour s’acheter un beau sapin
Et aussi des p’tites bébelles pour garnir l’arbre de Noël

Refrain:
Voilà l’Père Noël(e) qui nous arrive… (turlutte)
Avec ses belles rennes et pis ses étrennes
Pour qu’il soit de bonne humeur
Tâchez d’vous coucher d’bonne heure 
Pour qu’il soit de bonne humeur
Tâchez d’vous coucher d’bonne heure 

Après qu’on a bien mangé 
Tout l’monde commence à chanter
D’autres qui dansent des cotillons 
Qui font branler la maison
Refrain:

Doum doum….

Voilà l’Père Noël(e) qui nous arrive
Noël! Noël!
Avec ses belles rennes et pis ses étrennes
Noël! Noël! Noël! Noël!
(turlutte)

Translation

We are going to the store 
To buy a beautiful tree
And some little trinkets 
To decorate the Christmas tree

Refrain:
Santa Claus is coming
With his reindeer and gifts
To ensure that he’s in a good mood
Make sure you go to sleep early

After we eat well
Everyone starts to sing
Others dance up such a storm
That is makes the house shake
Refrain:
