Je m'addresse à vous, mon Dieu, car vous donnez

Ce qu'on ne peut obtenir que de soi

Donnez-moi, mon Dieu, ce qui vous reste

Donnez-moi ce qu'on ne vous demande jamais.

Je ne vous demande pas le repos

Ni la tranquillité

Ni celle de l'âme, ni celle du corps.

Je ne vous demande pas la richesse

Ni le succès, ni même la santé.

Tout ça, mon Dieu, on vous le demande tellement

Que vous ne devez plus en avoir.

Donnez-moi, mon Dieu, ce qui vous reste

Donnez-moi ce que l'on vous refuse.

Je veux l'insécurité et l'inquiétude.

Je veux la tourmente et la bagarre

Et que vous me les donniez, mon Dieu, définitivement.

Que je sois sûr de les avoir toujours

Car je n'aurai pas toujours le courage

De vous les demander.

Donnez-moi, mon Dieu, ce qui vous reste.

Donnez-moi ce don't les autres ne veulent pas.

Mais donnez-moi aussi le courage

Et la force et la foi.

Car vous seul donnez, mon Dieu,

Ce que l'on ne peut attendre que de soi.

I call out to you, my God, because you give

What we cannot get by ourselves

Give me, my God, what remains

Give me what no one ever asks of you.

I do not ask for rest

Nor tranquility

Whether that of the soul or the body.

I ask not for wealth,

Or success, or even health.

All that, my God, you are asked so much for

That you no longer have them.

Give me, my God, what remains

Give me what others refuse.

I want insecurity and anxiety.

I want turmoil and brawl.

And that you give them to me, my God, forever

So that I am always sure to have them.

For I will not always have the courage to ask.

Give me, my God, what you have.

Give me what others do not want.

But also give me courage

And strength and faith.

Because only you alone can give, my God,

What I cannot expect only from myself.

Dai-me Senhor, o que Vos resta

Aquilo que nunca ninguém Vos pede

Eu não Vos peço o repouso

Nem a tranquilidade

Nem a da alma, nem a do corpo

Eu não Vos peço a riqueza,

Nem o êxito,

Nem mesmo a saúde.

Tantos vos pedem isso, Senhor,

que já não Vos deve sobrar para dar.

Dai-me Senhor, o que Vos resta.

Dai-me aquilo que todos recusam.

Eu quero an insegurança e a inquietaçao

Eu quero a luta e a tormenta

E concedei-me-las, meu Senhor, definitivamente.

Que eu tenha a certeza de as ter para sempre

Porque não terei sempre a coragem

De Vos Lhas pedir.

Dai-me Senhor, o que Vos resta.

Dai-me aquilo que os outros não querem.

Mas dai-me também a Coragem

E a Força

E a Fé.

Amen.

Give me, O Lord, what remains Thine;

What no one ever asks of Thee.

I do not ask Thee for rest

Nor tranquility,

Neither of the soul nor of the body.

I do not ask Thee for riches,

Nor success,

Nor even health.

So many ask you for these, O Lord,

Thou shouldst no longer have anything left to give.

Give me Lord, what remains Thine.

Give me that which all of us refuse.

I want insecurity and restlessness,

I want struggle and trouble.

And grant them to me, My Lord, forever.

Make sure that I will always take them

Because I will not always have the courage

To ask of Thee for them.

Give me, O Lord, what remains Thine,

Give me what others do not want;

But give me also the Courage,

And the Strength,

And the Faith.

Amen.
