This song is a cover of a traditional French carol, and it is sung by Vito Aiuto, who also plays the guitar. The song was recorded by Sufjan and he recorded it from a telephone, which is why Vito’s voice and the guitar sound quite.
[Verse 1]
Bring the torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring the torch, come swiftly and run
Christ is born, tell the folk of the village
Jesus is sleeping in His cradle
Ah, ah, beautiful is the mother
Ah, ah beautiful is her Son
[Verse 2]
Hasten now, good folk of the village
Hasten now, the Christ Child to see
You will find him asleep in the manger
Quietly come and whisper softly
Hush, hush, peacefully now he slumbers
Hush, hush, peacefully now he sleeps
