"Les anges dans nos campagnes" translates as "the angels in our countryside". [edit: actually could be "in our campaigns", which feels a more natural turn of phrase and perhaps works with the plural better] Good solves today, Merry Xmas!
@@spicypesto It's an odd phrase, and I had a quick google before posting it! The lyrics don't actually use that phrase so I couldn't use the context to decide. I did find a couple of sites that translated it as countryside, though they were hymn sites and may have just been doing a literal translation as I was. But I can't find anything to suggest that campagne(s) can mean company, only countryside, country or campaign. (In fact, "in our campaigns" perhaps sounds a more likely phrase..?) Company does sound better though and I'd be happy to be proved wrong and/or hear from a native French speaker!
@ I’m not 100% sure it’s company but I’m pretty sure it’s not countryside since “dans nos campagnes” would mean “in our countrysides” which is not really used in the plural both in English & French. It just wouldn’t make much sense in this context. I really wonder what it means though, since I wasn’t able to find websites explaining the meaning of the title.
I think a French native speaker should weigh in matters of idiomatic nuance, especially for text written in another century. This seems like a decent and plausible translation: The angels in our fields Have intoned the hymn of heaven, And the echo of our mountains Repeat this melodious song |: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :| Shepherds, for whom is this feast? What is the object of all these songs? What victor, what conquest Deserves these triumphant cries? |: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :| They announce the birth Of the liberator of Israel And full of gratitude Sing on this solemn day |: Gloria in excelsis Deo! Les anges dans nos campagnes Ont entonné l'hymne des cieux, Et l'écho de nos montagnes Redit ce chant mélodieux |: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :| Bergers, pour qui cette fête? Quel est l'objet de tous ces chants? Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête Mérite ces cris triomphants? |: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :| Ils annoncent la naissance Du libérateur d'Israël Et pleins de reconnaissance Chantent en ce jour solennel |: Gloria in excelsis Deo!

I don’t think they are referring to countryside. Yes “campagne” can mean countryside but in this case I think it’s company

The angels in our fields
Have intoned the hymn of heaven,
And the echo of our mountains
Repeat this melodious song
|: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :|
Shepherds, for whom is this feast?
What is the object of all these songs?
What victor, what conquest
Deserves these triumphant cries?
|: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :|
They announce the birth
Of the liberator of Israel
And full of gratitude
Sing on this solemn day

Les anges dans nos campagnes
Ont entonné l'hymne des cieux,
Et l'écho de nos montagnes
Redit ce chant mélodieux
|: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :|
Bergers, pour qui cette fête?
Quel est l'objet de tous ces chants?
Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête
Mérite ces cris triomphants?
|: Gloria in excelsis Deo! :|
Ils annoncent la naissance
Du libérateur d'Israël
Et pleins de reconnaissance
Chantent en ce jour solennel
|: Gloria in excelsis Deo!
