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.

Over my sleeping village the Angelus has rung, bells of honor to Mary: see how the night flies, and how the greeting of the Archangel is joyful over my sleeping village. The sun leaps up from behind the knolls like the doe's fawn. Houses of poor or rich, trees and gardens will be gilded soon, and the children will play like the doe's fawn. Another day brings happiness or torment to my heart! Saviour, I adore You, in the sublimity of the first light of day, and bless You for another day.
