Adieu bon père adieu!...dans ta couche dernière
Tranquille maintenant ton front s'est endormmi
Tu n'as plus les douleurs les tourments de la terre
Et dieu touché de ta prière
A jete sur tes maux le pardon d'un ami.
Requiescan in pace.

On your death bed you peacefully
closed your eyes and went to sleep.
You feel no pains or worries of the earth.
And God heard your prayer,
