Pourquoi Je T'aime Marie

I want to sing, Mary, why I love you
Why your sweet name makes my heart skip a beat
And why the thought of your supreme greatness
Could never inspire fear in my soul

If I were to gaze upon you in your sublime glory
Outshining the brilliance of all the blessed
That I am your child, I could never believe it
Oh Mary, before you, I will lower my eyes

Oh, I want to sing, Mary, why I love you

For a child to cherish their mother
She must weep with them, share in their pain
Oh my beloved mother on this foreign shore
To draw me to you, you shed tears

Oh how I still love your eloquent silence
To me, it's a sweet and melodious concert
That tells me of the greatness and the power
Of a soul that waits for its help only from the heavens

Oh, I want to sing, Mary, why I love you

Soon I will hear that sweet harmony
Soon in the beautiful sky, I will come to see you
You who will smile at me in the morning of my life
Come smile at me again, Mother, here is the evening

I no longer fear the brilliance of your supreme glory
With you, I have suffered, and now I want
To sing on your knees, Mary, why I love you
And forever say that I am your child

Oh, I want to sing, Mary, why I love you
Oh, I want to sing, Mary, why I love you

I no longer fear the brilliance of your supreme glory
With you, I have suffered, and now I want
To sing on your knees, Mary, why I love you
And forever say that I am your child

Oh, I want to sing, Mary, why I love you
Oh, I want to sing, Mary, why I love you

To love is to give everything and to give oneself
With you, I have suffered, and now I want
To sing on your knees, Mary, why I love you
And forever say that I am your child
