Ô grand Saint Nicolas patron des écoliers
In the French speaking part of Belgium, St. Nicolas brings presents in the middle of the night of the 5th to the 6th of December. He puts candy in shoes the children leave out for him.
Ô grand Saint Nicolas patron des écoliers
Oh Great St. Nicolas, Patron Saint of School Kids
Chanson de la Saint Nicolas
St. Nicholas Day Song
(French)
(English)
Ô grand Saint Nicolas patron des écoliers,
Apportez-moi du sucre dans mon petit soulier.
Je serai toujours sage comme un petit mouton,
Je dirai mes prières pour avoir des bonbons.
Venez, venez Saint Nicolas!
Venez, venez Saint Nicolas!
Venez! Venez Saint Nicolas!
Et tralala!
Oh great St. Nicolas, patron saint of school kids,
Bring me some sugar for my shoe.
I'll will always be good like a little lamb,
I'll always say my prayers to get sweets.
Come, come Saint Nicolas!
Come, come Saint Nicolas!
Come! Come Saint Nicolas!
And tra la la!
