Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG ENG

Sur ma ville endormie a sonné l'Angélus
L'Angélus des clochers en hommage à Marie:
Vois comme fuit la nuit et comme le salut de l'Archange
est joyeux sur ma ville endormie.
Comme faon de la biche au revers des côteaux
Va bondir le soleil!

La maison pauvre ou riche,
Les arbres, les jardins seront dorés tantôt
Et joueront les enfants comme faon de la biche.
Une journée apporte du bonheur
Ou du tourment au coeur !
Seigneur, je vous adore
Dans la sublimité des premières lueurs du jour
et vous bénis une journée encore.
