Pantagruel`s Nativity Lyrics

Pantagruel`s Nativity lyrics

How can I laugh or cry 
When my mind is sorely torn? 
Badabec had to die 
Fair Pantagruel is born 
Shall I weep, yes, for why? 
Then laugh and show my scorn 
 
Born with a strength untold 
Foreseen to have great age 
Set in Gargantuan mould, 
Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage 
Princely wisdom, habits bold; 
Power, glory, lauded sage 
 
Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning 
In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him 
Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning 
In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him. 
 
Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning 
In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him 
 
How can I laugh or cry 
When my mind is sorely torn? 
Badabec had to die; 
Fair Pantagruel is born 
Shall I weep, yes, for why? 
Then laugh and show my scorn.
