PATAPAN

Willie take your little drum'
Robin bring your flute and come.
We'll be joyous as you play,
Turelurelu, Patapatapan;
We'll be joyous as you play,
On a merry Christmas day.

 

When the men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise,
They had pipes on which to play
Turelurelu, Patapatapan;
They had drums on which to play,
full of joy on Christmas day.

God and man this day become
Joined as one with flute and drum.
Let the happy tune play on,
Turelurelu, Patapatapan;
Flute and drum together play
As we sing on Christmas day.
