about

This is a modern carol using the traditional lyrics of 'Sir Christèmas'. The lyrics are by an unknown author, with the first record of the song dating the song to some point before 1510.

** New Version for 2020 with new arrangement, mix and new vocals **

lyrics

Sir Christemas (Music: Tim Hunter; lyrics anon.)

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.
Who is there that singeth so,
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell?

I am here, Sir Christemas.
Welcome, my lord Sir Christemas!
Welcome to us all, both more and less!
Come near, Nowell.

Dieu vous garde, beaux sieurs, tidings I you bring:
A maid hath borne a child full young,
The which causeth you for to sing:
No-well.

Christ is now born of a pure maid;
In an ox-stall he is laid,
Where-fore sing we all at a brayde:
No-well.

Buvez bien par toute la compagnie,
Make good cheer and be right merry,
And sing with us now joyfully:
No-well.

I am here, Sir Christemas.
Welcome, my lord Sir Christemas!
Welcome to us all, both more and less!
Come near, No-well.

I am here, Sir Christemas.
I am here, Sir Christemas.
