Download Guillaume prends ton tambourin
Stream Guillaume prends ton tambourinKnown in English-speaking countries as "Willie take your little drum".I arranged this song with extra flute and drum parts, since the words call for them.
I also present my own English singing version below, just for fun.
Any choirs wishing to use or even adapt my version are welcome to do so....

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. C'etait 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. L'homme et Dieu sont plus d'accord Que la flûte et le tambour; Au son de ces instruments Turelurelu, patapatapan Au son de ces instruments Chantons, dansons, sautons en! |
Willie take your little drum With your flute oh Robin come With the sound of flute and drum tootle tootle too, bing a bang a boom with the flute and with the drum we will dance and sing as one. In the goodly olden days The king of kings we'd praise with the drum and with the flute bing a bang a boom, tootle tootle too with the flute and with the drum we will dance and sing as one. God and man are now at one more than sweetest flute and drum with the merry drum and flute bing a bang a boom, tootle tootle too with the flute and with the drum we will dance and sing as one. |
