Original text and translations

English text 1  Willie, take your little drum; With your whistle, Robin, come! When we hear the fife and drum, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pat-a-pat-a-pan, When we hear the fife and drum, Christmas should be frolicksome. 2  When the men of olden days Gave the King of kings their praise. They had pipes to play upon, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pat-a-pat-a-pan, And also the drums they play’d, Full of joy on Christmas Day. 3  Satan now has lost his claim For the grace of Jesus came With the sound of caroling Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pat-a-pat-a-pan With the sound of caroling Let us all our triumph sing. 4  God and man now join as one As the fife and drum have done, As we listen to them play, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pat-a-pat-a-pan, As we listen to them play, Let us sing of Christmas Day.
