Veillez sur moi, quand je m'éveille, Bon ange, puisque Dieu l'a dit ; Et chaque nuit, quand je sommeille Penchez-vous sur mon petit lit. Ayez pitié de ma faiblesse ; A mes côtés marchez sans cesse, Parlez-moi le long du chemin ; Et pendant que je vous écoute, De peur que je ne tombe en route, Bon ange, donnez-moi la main.

Watch over me when I awaken, Good angel, since God has said it; And each night when I am asleep Incline over my little bed. Have pity on my frailty; Walk near me constantly, Talk to me along the way; And while I listen to you, For fear that I do not fall on my way, Good angel, give me your hand.
