Great old carol, and a good vocal performance of it here, despite the singer leaving out the second stanza for some reason ("Qui vient la, frappant de la porte?..."). I was especially struck by comparing to the written lyrics for this song on Wikipedia. Do the french always discard the last 1 or 2 letters of every word before pronouncing it? It would seem so. "Un" becomes "uh", "est" becomes "eh", etc. French is a strange language. (Not as strange as English, but still strange.)
