Ayez pitié de nous, Seigneur ! Christ, ayez pitié de nous ! Donnez-nous la victoire et l'honneur Sur l'ennemi de nous tous. Ayez pitié de nous, Seigneur. Rendez-nous plus croyants et plus doux Loin du Péché suborneur, Christ, ayez pitié de nous. Criblez-nous comme fait le vanneur Du grain dont il est jaloux. Ayez pitié de nous, Seigneur. Nous vous en supplions à genoux, Ouvrez-nous par la Foi et le Bonheur. Christ, ayez pitié de nous. Ouvrez-nous par l'Amour le Bonheur, Nous vous en prions à genoux. Ayez pitié de nous, Seigneur. Seigneur, par l'Espérance, ouvrez-nous, Christ, ouvrez-nous le Bonheur. Christ, ayez pitié de nous. Ayez pitié de nous, Seigneur !

Have mercy on us, oh Lord! Christ, have mercy on us! Give us victory and honour over our common enemy. Have mercy on us, oh Lord! Make us more believing and more gentle far from the enticements of Sin. Christ, have mercy on us! Sift us like the winnower who jealously values his grain. Have mercy on us, oh Lord! We beg you on bended knees, open to us through Faith and Happiness. Christ, have mercy on us! Open to us through Love and Happiness, we pray on bended knees. Have mercy on us, oh Lord! Lord, through Hope, open to us, Christ, open Happiness to us. Christ, have mercy on us! Have mercy on us, oh Lord!
