Un pont étroit

Emile Claus (1849-1924)
A Meeting on the Bridge

Ce monde

dans lequel nous virons

est tout un pont étroit.

La chose la plus importante

c'est de ne pas craindre

mais mets ta confiance

en Lui.

Pour quand tu mets

ta confiance

en Le Seigneur,

il n'y a rien à craindre

de tout.

Translation:

This world

in which we live

is all a narrow bridge.

The most important thing

is not to fear

but put your trust

in Him.

For when you put

your trust

in the Lord,

there's nothing to fear

at all.

This is a song we used to sing in church. I think it may actually be an old Jewish poem...? For an exercise, I translated the English into French.
