Original text and translations

French text

Avec le jour commence ta journée
De l'Eternel le sainct nom bénissant
Le soir aussi ton labeur finissant
Louë le encor' et passe ainsi l'année.

English translation by Mick Swithinbank

Rise with the sun and so begin your day,
Blessing, as you do, God's holy name;
Your day's work done, again do it proclaim;
Continue all the year the selfsame way.

Spanish translation by Javiproxing

Con el día empieza la jornada eterna
del bendito nombre santo.
La tarde acaba tu tarea
y así se pasa el año.
