lyrics

Vous savez, Seigneur, ma misère!
Voyez ce que je vous apporte!
Des fleurs mauvaises de la terre,
Et du soleil sur une morte.

Voyez aussi ma lassitude,
La lune éteinte et l'aube noire;
Et fécondez ma solitude
En l'arrosant de votre gloire.

Ouvrez-moi, Seigneur, votre voie,
Éclairez mon âme lasse,
Car la tristesse de ma joie
Semble de l'herbe sous la glace.

...

You know, Lord, my misery!
See what I bring you!
Evil flowers of the earth,
And sunshine on a dead woman.

See also my weariness,
The extinct moon and the black dawn;
And fertilize my loneliness
By sprinkling it with your glory.

Show me, Lord, your way,
Light up my weary soul,
Because the sadness of my joy
Seems like grass under the ice.
