Souvenez‑vous, Vierge Marie !
 (Sung text for setting by J. Massenet)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
Souvenez-vous, souvenez-vous, Vierge Marie,
Tandis qu'à vos genoux humblement je me mets
Souvenez-vous ! souvenez-vous que l'on n'a pu dire jamais
Que sans vous trouver attendrie
Implorant vos secours on se soit prosterné
Et que l'on ait été par vous abandonné !
Souvenez-vous ! souvenez-vous, Vierge Marie !

Ne dédaignez pas ma prière...
Ô mère du verbe incarné !
Pitié ! pitié !
Que grâce à vous à notre heure dernière
Le péché nous soit pardonné !
Souvenez-vous ! souvenez-vous ! Vierge Marie !
Vierge Marie !
Vierge Marie !
Souvenez-vous !
