Petit Papa Noël (Little Father Christmas) is a popular French Christmas song. It first appeared just after the end of the Second World War when it was recorded by Tino Rossi. It has since become incredibly popular, well-known today by most French children. But the success of the song does not stop at the borders of France. It has been translated into many languages and exported to many countries. Even in English-speaking countries, it is often performed in the original French. Several well-known artists have recorded covers of Petit Papa Noël, including Nana Mouskouri, Céline Dion, Josh Groban and Roberto Alagna. This arrangement includes lyrics in both French and English, with a guide to the French pronunciation provided in standard IPA (Internation Phonetic Alphabet) format. It is also available in SAB and SSA voicings, with a piano accompaniment.
