Song Meaning of “Il Est Ne Le Divin Enfant” by Kevin Kern
“Il est Ne le Divin Enfant” by Kevin Kern is a joyful Christmas song that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It speaks of the awe and wonder of this wondrous night, as God the Father presents His divine son to mankind.
The lyrics begin, “Et bien avant midi l’heure est si douce, L’enfant dans la crêche s’endort dans la paille,” which translates to, “And before noon, it’s a sweet hour, the baby in the manger sleeps in the straw.” This first verse alludes to the serenity of the Holy Night, and the peacefulness of the infant Jesus.
The song further reflects on how divine the scene in the manger is, with the chorus singing “Il est né le divin enfant, Il est né le divin Enfant, Jouez hautbois, résonnez musettes, Il est né le divin enfant.” This translates to, “There is born the divine child, There is born the divine child,
Play the oboe, ring the musettes, There is born the divine child,” which symbolizes the heavenly music that accompanied Jesus’s entrance into the world.
