"Patapan" (or "Pat-a-pan") is a French Christmas carol in Burgundian dialect, later adapted into English. It was written by Bernard de La Monnoye (1641–1728) and first published in Noël bourguignons in 1720.[1] Its original title is "Guillô, Pran Ton Tamborin" ("Willie, Bring Your Little Drum" or "Willie, Take Your Little Drum").
Bernard de La Monnoye
The carol revolves around the birth of Jesus Christ, and is told from the perspective of shepherds playing simple instruments—flutes and drums—the onomatopoeic sound of which gives the song its name; "patapan" is meant to mimic the sound of the drum, and an accompanying lyric, "tu-re-lu-re-lu," the flute. This is similar conceptually to the carol "The Little Drummer Boy", with its chorus of "pa-rum-pa-pum-pum."
Guillô, pran ton tamborin; Toi, pran tai fleúte, Rôbin! Au son de cés instruman, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de cés instruman Je diron Noei gaiman
C’ étó lai môde autrefoi De loüé le Roi dé Roi, Au son de cés instruman, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de cés instruman, Ai nos an fau faire autan.
Ce jor le Diale at ai cu Randons an graice ai Jesu Au son de cés instruman, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de cés instruman, Fezon lai nique ai Satan.
L’homme et Dei son pu d’aicor Que lai fleúte & le tambor. Au son de cés instruman, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de cés instruman, Chanton, danson, sautons-an.
French lyrics
Guillaume, prends ton tambourin, Toi, prends ta flûte, Robin; Au son de ces instruments, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de ces instruments, Je dirai Noël gaîment.
C’était la mode d'autrefois, De louer le Roi des rois, Au son de ces instruments, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de ces instruments, Il nous en faut faire autant.
Ce jour le diable est vaincu Rendons-en grâce à Jésus. Au son de ces instruments, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de ces instruments, Faisons la nique à Satan.
L’homme et Dieu sont plus d’accord, Que la flûte et le tambour; Au son de ces instruments, Turelurelu, patapatapan, Au son de ces instruments, Chantons, dansons, sautons en!
English lyrics
Willie, bring your little drum, Robin take your flute and come! When we hear the music bright we will sing Noel this night, When we hear the fife and drum, Christmas should be frolicsome.
Thus the men of olden days for the King of Kings to praise, When they heard the fife and drum, tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan, When they hear the fife and drum, sure, our children won't be dumb.
God and man are now become more at one than fife and drum. When you hear the fife and drum, tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan, When you hear the fife and drum, dance and make the village hum.
English rhyming version (Patta-Patta-Pan, Turra-Lurra-Lay, Wisconsin, U.S.)
