Au soir

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG ENG

Puisque la nuit remonte au ciel et dans nos coeurs,
Puisque l'heure est venue où chacun fait le compte
De ses travaux, de ses douleurs, de ses rancoeurs.
Nous te prions encor puisque la nuit remonte !

O Vierge, sois clémente au dernier Angélus
Qui berce le sommeil de la terre en tourmente !
Qu'aux misères du jour nous ne pensions plus !
A nos péchés humains, ô vierge sois clémente !

Dans la vie éternelle où la nuit ne vient pas
Emportés par le vent que seules font les ailes
Des divins Angelots nos Ave Maria Te chantent
notre amour dans la vie éternelle.

In the evening

Language: English after the French (Français)

 Since the night rises in the heavens and in our hearts, 
 since the hour is come where each of us makes a count 
 of our labors, our sorrows and their bitterness, 
 we pray to You again, since night is rising!  
 
 O Virgin, be merciful at the final Angelus 
 that cradles the sleep of the tormented world! 
 That we may no longer think of the worries of this day! 
 For our human sins, O Virgin, be merciful!  
 
 In the life eternal, where night does not come, 
 carried by the wind made only by the wings 
 of divine cherubs, our Ave Maria sings to you 
 of our love in eternal life.
