Berceuse
Language: French (Français)
Petit enfant, en toi je le retrouve,
Enfant si cher, en toi sont réunis
L'amour qu'il a, le bonheur que j'éprouve,
Et tout l'espoir que Dieu nous a permis.
Dors, mon enfant, près de ta mère.
Et quand ton père reviendra,
Tous deux, j'espère,
Ce soir il nous embrassera.
Dors! dors! près de ta mère.
Petit enfant dont la bouche est muette
Et dont les yeux sont si beaux et si doux,
Je te confie aux bontés du Prophète;
Sa Fatima s'implorera pour nous.
Dors, mon enfant, près de ta mère.

Lullaby
Language: English after the French (Français)
Little child, in you I find,
darling child, in you combine
his love, my joy
and all the hope that God has granted us.
Sleep, my child, beside your mother.
And when your father comes back tonight,
I hope he will
kiss us both.
Sleep! sleep! beside your mother.
Little child, whose mouth is quiet,
whose eyes are so lovely and sweet,
I commend you to the Prophet's goodness.
Fatima will pray for us.
Sleep, my child, beside your mother.
