Het Angelus klept in de verte
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Available translation(s): ENG
Het Angelus klept in de verte
In tonen, zo zuiver en hel
De grootmoeder knielt op de drempel
De kinderen, zij staken hun spel
Refrain:
Grootmoeder bidt 'Onze Vader'
De kinderen zeggen 't haar na
Een zonnestraal glijdt door het loover
Een glimlach, een glimlach van 's Heeren gena
Zij bidt: "O God, schenk uwe zegen
Ook over dee'z kinderkes klein
En wees hun nabij met uw liefde
Als ik niet meer bij hen kan zijn"
(Refrain)

The Angelus chimes in the distance
Language: English  after the Dutch (Nederlands)
The Angelus chimes in the distance
In tones so pure and so clear
The grandmother kneels on the doorstep
The children, interrupting their play.
Refrain:
Grandmother prays Our Father
The children repeat after her
A ray of the sun shines through the foliage
A smile, a smile of the grace of the Lord.
She prays: Oh God, bestow too your blessing
On these children so small
And be near them with your kindness
When I can't be with them any more.
(Refrain)
