*It's a French song meaning It was Christmas Eve, which I know from a Spinners'** version of the song, La Veille De Noe, which combines French and English lyrics on their album "Around the World…And Back Again (in time for Christmas)"
**(the UK folk band not the USA Motown group aka the Detroit Spinners)
