L'ange gardien
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: DUT ENG SPA
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.
