Prayer

He who sits somewhere up there in the heavens

He who heals all the sick

He who gives great joy to children

He who makes judgments

He is in the heavens and He is the Only One

He, the great and awe-inspiring

He is the one who protects us from troubles.

God, watch over us, please, like children

Watch please and don't leave

Give us light and the joy of youth

Give us strength, more and more

Watch over us, please, like children

Watch please and don't leave

Give us light and the joy of youth

And let us love too.

What still remains for us in our days?

What remains all day long?

Sunshine, hope and so many sights

Nights and days of dreams

He is in the heavens and He is the Only One

He, the great and awe-inspiring

He is the one who protects us from troubles.

God, watch over us, please, like children

Watch please and don't leave

Give us light and the joy of youth

Give us strength, more and more

Watch over us, please, like children

Watch please and don't leave

Give us light and the joy of youth

And let us love too.

God, watch over us, please, like children

Watch please and don't leave

Give us light and the joy of youth

Give us strength, more and more

Watch over us, please, like children

Watch please and don't leave

Give us light and the joy of youth

And let us love too.
