La barque est petite et la mer immense, La vague nous jette au ciel en courroux, Le ciel nous renvoie au flot en démence: Près du mât rompu prions à genoux! De nous à la tombe il n'est qu'une planche: Peut-être ce soir, dans un lit amer, Sous un froid linceul, fait d'écume blanche, Irons-nous dormir, veillés par l'éclair! Fleur du paradis, sainte Notre-Dame, Si bonne aux marins en péril de mort, Apaise le vent, fais [taire]1 la lame, Et pousse du doigt notre esquif au port. Nous te donnerons, si tu nous délivres, Une belle robe en papier d'argent, Un cierge à festons pesant quatre livres, Et, pour ton Jésus, un petit Saint-Jean.
F. Schmitt sets stanzas 1-3

船儿何纤纤大海阔无边, 愤怒波涛把我们抛向天, 天把我们送给疯狂波澜: 跪下祈祷断桅就在旁边! 我们和坟墓只隔一层板: 今天晚上要在床上熬煎, 白沫化冰冷寿衣盖上面, 我们去睡觉,由闪电照看! 天堂的花朵,我们的圣母, 对临死的水手如此慈祥, 让波浪平息,让风也减速, 轻推我们的小船向海港。 若将我们拯救,我们送你, 一袭漂亮长袍银光闪闪, 四斤重的蜡烛装饰华丽, 给你耶稣个小施洗约翰。
