Ding dong ! Merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing,
Ding dong ! Verily the sky is riv'n
With angels singing.

Glo- - - - - - - - - - ria, Hosanna in excelsis.
Glo- - - - - - - - - - ria, Hosanna in excelsis.

Ding dong ! Merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing,
Ding dong ! Verily the sky is riv'n
With angels singing.
Glo- - - - - - - - - - ria, Hosanna in excelsis.
Glo- - - - - - - - - - ria, Hosanna in excelsis.

And on earth below,
Below, let steeple bells be swungen,
And i-o, i-o, i-o,
By priest and people sungen.

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis?.

Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, you ringers,
May you beautifully rhyme
Your eve-time song, you singers.

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis?

Et voici une traduction possible:

Ding dong ! Joie-a dans les cieux,
Là-haut les cloches sonnent
Ding dong ! Sou-ou-dain
Les anges chantent dans le ciel
Glo- - - - - - - - - - ria,
Hosanna in excelsis.
Glo- - - - - - - - - - ria,
Hosanna in excelsis.

Et sur te-erre ici bas,
Les cloches des carillons
Se balancent lan-cent lancent,
Prêtres et fidèles chantent

Priez, sonnez les mâtines,
Vous les carillonneurs
Que cette musique magnifique
Accompagne vos chants
