Confie ton chemin

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Bach)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

1 Confie ton chemin
Et ce qui trouble ton cœur
À la tutelle la plus fidèle
À celui qui gouverne les cieux.
Celui qui aux nuages, à l'air et aux vents
Donne le chemin, le cours et la voie
Trouvera aussi un chemin
Sur lequel tes pieds peuvent aller.

 ...
