Vers toi s'élève ma prière
Entends la voix de ton enfant
Confiant j′éploré ton secours
Donne-moi la paix
Mon cœur rempli par la misère
N'a plus d'espoir qu′en ton amour
Conduit mes pas vers ton Jésus
Ave Maria.
The lyrics of René Simard's song Ave Maria express a plea for help and guidance from the Virgin Mary. The opening line, "Ave Maria l'âme des cieux" (Ave Maria, soul of the skies), emphasizes the singer's belief in Mary's spiritual power and influence. The singer then asks for Mary's help in his prayer, "Vers toi s'élève ma prière" (My prayer rises up to you). He expresses his confidence in Mary, calling himself her child and asking her to hear his prayer.
The singer then reveals his desperation and sorrow, "Mon cœur rempli par la misère" (My heart filled with misery), and how he finds hope and comfort only in Mary's love. The repetition of "pitie, pitie ah, Bonne Mere" (mercy, mercy ah, Good Mother) adds to the emotional intensity of the song. The final line, "Conduit mes pas vers ton Jésus" (Lead my steps to your Jesus), shows the singer's belief that Mary will guide him to Jesus and bring him peace.
