Dans sa triste chambre
Le petit s'endort
Il gèle à pierre fendre
Le froid le dévore

On l'a trouvé dans son lit
Mort dans un sourire
Et Jésus là-haut s'est dit
Ca m'ôte un souci

["In his sad room / The little one falls asleep / It's freezing hard / The cold devours him // They found him in his bed / Dead with a smile / And Jesus up there said to himself / That's one less worry for me"]
