Giant Gentle 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
