Prière des matelots
Language: French (Français) 
Sur les  flots bleus s'élève avec mystère
L'astre des  nuits, qui veille solitaire,
C'est l'heure sainte où montent vers les cieux
Nos chants bénis, nos chants mélodieux.
Vogue, vogue, ma barque légère,
Vogue vers des bords heureux.
Ave,  maris stella !

Lorsque des nuits l'étoile qui nous guide
S'inclinera sur la plaine liquide,
Nous rentrerons au port silencieux,
Le cœur tranquille et bénissant les cieux.
Vogue, vogue, ma barque rapide,
Vogue vers des bords heureux.
Ave,  maris stella !

Des matelots patronne tutélaire,
Sainte Marie, écoute ma prière,
Délivre-nous des pièges des méchants,
Du haut des cieux protège tes enfants.
Ave maris stella !
