Cantique de Noëlor Minuit, Chrétiens

“진정으로 그는 우리에게 서로 사랑하라고 가르치셨다.

그의 법은 사랑이요 그의 복음은 평화로다.

그가 노예들의 사슬을 끊을 것이다.
노예는 우리들의 형제이기 때문에...

그리고 그의 이름으로 모든 압제는 끝날 것이다”

 

 

In the small Jewish town of Nazareth, a girl lived. Her name was Maria.

 

One day the Lord sent an angel to Mary. Entering the girl, the angel said to her:

• Rejoice, Maria! The Lord has chosen you from all women on earth! Soon you will have a son who will become King of Israel, Call Him Jesus, He will be God's Son, and His Kingdom will never come to an end.

"O Holy Night" (also known as "Cantique de Noël") is a well-known Christmas carol. Originally based on a French-language poem by poet Placide Cappeau, written in 1843, with the first line "Minuit, chrétiens! c'est l'heure solennelle" (Midnight, Christians, is the solemn hour) that composer Adolphe Adam set to music in 1847. The English version is by John Sullivan Dwight. The carol reflects on the birth of Jesus as humanity's redemption.

Adolphe Charles Adam [아돌프 샤를 아당]

 

 

                                                           Adolphe Charles Adam in 1840

 

 

Adolphe Charles Adam (French: [adɔlf adɑ̃]; 24 July 1803 – 3 May 1856) was a French composer, teacher and music critic. A prolific composer for the theatre, he is best known today for his ballets Giselle (1841) and Le corsaire (1856), his operas Le postillon de Lonjumeau (1836) and Si j'étais roi (1852)

and his Christmas carol "Minuit, Chrétiens!" (Midnight, Christians, 1844, known in English as "O Holy Night").

 

Adam was born in Paris on 24 July 1803, the elder of the two children, both sons, of (Jean) Louis Adam and his third wife, Élisa, née Coste. She was the daughter of a prominent physician, and was a former pupil of her husband, a well-known composer, pianist and professor at the Paris Conservatoire. Louis Adam gave his son lessons, but the boy was reluctant to learn even the basics of musical theory, and instead played fluently by ear:

 

I loved music, but I didn't want to learn it. I would sit quiet for hours, listening to my father play the piano, and as soon as I was alone I tapped on the instrument without knowing my notes. I knew without realising it how to find the harmonies. I didn't want to do scales or read music; I always improvised.

 

아당은 1803년  작곡가이자 파리 음악원의 교수인 아버지 루이스 (1758년 - 1848년)와 유명한 의사의 딸인 어머니 엘리사 사이에서 요한 루드비히 아담으로 태어났다.

 

아돌프 샤를 아당(프랑스어: Adolphe Charles Adam, 1803년 7월 24일 ~ 1856년 5월 3일)은 프랑스의 발레 음악 및 오페라 작곡가, 음악 평론가이다. 아당은 오페라와 발레을 다작하던 작곡가로, 오늘날 아당은 그의 발레곡인 《지젤》(1841년)과 그의 마지막 작품인《르 고르사쥬》(1856년), 그리고 오페라《투우사》(프랑스어: Le toréador ou L'accord parfait 1849년)와 크리스마스 캐롤인 《거룩한 밤》(1847년)의 작곡가로 잘 알려진 프랑스의 작곡가이다.

Placide Cappeau's Cantique de Noël Literal English translation

Minuit, chrétiens, c’est l’heure solennelle Où l’Homme-Dieu descendit jusqu’à nous, Pour effacer la tache originelle, Et de son Père arrêter le courroux. Le monde entier tressaille d’espérance, À cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur. Peuple, à genoux, attends ta délivrance Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur! Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur!	Midnight, Christians, it is the solemn hour When God as man descended among us To expunge the stain of original sin And to put an end to the wrath of his father. The entire world thrills with hope On this night which gives us a savior. People, on your knees, attend* your deliverance. Christmas! Christmas! Here is the Redeemer! Christmas! Christmas! Here is the Redeemer!
De notre foi que la lumière ardente Nous guide tous au berceau de l’Enfant, Comme autrefois une étoile brillante Y conduisit les chefs de l’Orient. Le Roi des rois naît dans une humble crèche; Puissants du jour, fiers de votre grandeur, À votre orgueil, c’est de là que Dieu prêche. Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur! Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur!	The ardent light of our Faith, Guides us all to the cradle of the infant, As in ancient times a brilliant star Conducted the Magi there from the orient. The King of kings was born in a humble manger; O mighty ones of today, proud of your grandeur, It is to your pride that God preaches. Bow your heads before the Redeemer! Bow your heads before the Redeemer!
Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave, La Terre est libre et le Ciel est ouvert. Il voit un frère où n’était qu’un esclave, L’amour unit ceux qu’enchaînait le fer. Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance? C’est pour nous tous qu’il naît, qu’il souffre et meurt. Peuple, debout! Chante ta délivrance. Noël! Noël! Chantons le Rédempteur! Noël! Noël! Chantons le Rédempteur!	The Redeemer has broken all shackles. The earth is free and heaven is open. He sees a brother were there was once but a slave; Love unites those who restrain the sword. Who will tell him our gratitude? It is for us all that he was born, that he suffered and died. People, stand up, sing your deliverance! Christmas! Christmas! Let us sing the Redeemer! Christmas! Christmas! Let us sing the Redeemer!

Lyrics

 

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining

오 거룩한 밤 별들이 밝게 빛나고
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth

오늘은 우리의 구세주 태어나신 밤
Long lay the world in sin and ever pining

오랫동안 세상은 죄와 잘못으로 신음하네
'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth

그가 나타나서 영혼이 가치를 느끼기까지

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

지친 세상이 기뻐할 희망의 전율
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'

저기 계신 분이 새롭고 영광스런 아침을 여시니...
Fall on your knees, o hear the angels' voices

무릎을 꿇고, 천사들의 음성 들으세
O night divine, o night when Christ was born

오 거룩한 밤, 오 그리스도가 태어나신 밤
O night divine, o night, o night divine

오 거룩한 밤, 오 거룩한 밤

 

 

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother

그가 사슬을 끊을 것이다 노예는 우리의 형제이기 때문에
And in His name all oppression shall cease

그리고 그의 이름으로 모든 압제는 끝날 것이다
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

우리가 올리는 감사의 합창에서 기쁨의 달콤한 찬송가
With all within, let us praise His holy name

우리 안에 모든 사람이  거룩한 이름을 찬양합시다

Christ is the Lord, His Name forever praise we

그리스도는 주님이시다, 주님의 이름 영원히 찬양합니다
Noel, Noel, o night, o night divine

오 거룩한 밤
Noel, noel
O night, o holy night

오 거룩한 밤

 

Artemios "Demis" Ventouris-Roussos (/ˈruːsoʊs/ ROO-sohss; Greek: Αρτέμιος "Ντέμης" Βεντούρης-Ρούσσος, IPA: [arˈtemi.oz ˈdemiz venˈduriz ˈrusos]; 15 June 1946 – 25 January 2015) was a Greek singer, songwriter and musician. As a band member he is best remembered for his work in the progressive rock music act Aphrodite's Child, but as a vocal soloist, his repertoire included hit songs like "Goodbye, My Love, Goodbye", "From Souvenirs to Souvenirs" and "Forever and Ever".

Roussos sold over 60 million albums worldwide and became "an unlikely kaftan-wearing sex symbol"

 

Roussos was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, in a Greek family.  His father George (Yorgos) Roussos was a classical guitarist and an engineer and his mother Olga participated with her husband in an amateur theatrical Greek group in Alexandria (there were three such groups in the Greek community); her family originally came from Greece.

 

As a child, he studied music and joined the Greek Church Byzantine choir in Alexandria.  His formative years in the ancient port city's cosmopolitan atmosphere were influenced by jazz, but also traditional Arab and Greek Orthodox music.  His parents lost their possessions during the Suez Crisis and consequently decided to move to Greece.

[Choir:]

Truly He taught us to love one another,

진정으로 그는 우리에게 서로를 사랑하는 법을 가르쳐주셨습니다.

His law is love and His gospel is peace.

그의 법은 사랑이고 그의 찬송가는 평화입니다.

Chains He shall break, for the slave is our brother.

사슬들을 그가 부숴줄거예요, 노예는 우리의 형제들이니까

 

And in His name, all oppression shall cease

그의 이름아래, 모든 압제는 끝날 것이고

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

감사하는 찬양으로 달콤한 기쁨의 찬송 올립니다

Let all within us praise His holy name
