Kreyol Song: #72 M-konfié Nan Dieu Ninpot Koté Mouin Yé (My Father Watches Over Me)

M-konfié Nan Dieu Ninpot Koté Mouin Yé

M-konfié nan Dieu ninpòt koté mouin yé.
Ni sou la tè, ni sou la mè troublé;
Nan tout traka, nan la vi sa a
Papa-m nan sièl la apé véyé mouin.

Kè:
M-konfié nan Dieu,
Mouin konnin L-ap pran souin mouin,
Nan dézè a, ou nan mové chémin,
La mè pousé-m, Bon-Dieu kinbé-m
Papa-m nan sièl la apé véyé mouin.

Li gadé flè yo nan chan tou patou,
Li pran souin zouazo kap chanté pou nou,
Juska la fin, L-ap sonjé mouin,
Papa-m nan sièl la apé véyé mouin.

Rout la mèt du, nuaj yo kouvri mouin,
Bèjé a gadé mouton-l jouk la fin
Apré mon-n sa, na ouè sièl la,
Papa-m nan sièl la apé véyé mouin.


literal translation:

I trust in God wherever I am

I trust in God wherever I am.
Not on earth, not on the troubled sea;
In all troubles, in this life
My heavenly Father watches over me.

Chorus:
I trust in God,
I know He will take care of me,
In the desert, or on a bad path,
The sea pushed me, God holds me
My heavenly Father watches over me.

He looked at the flowers in the field,
He took care of the birds singing for us,
Until the end, He will remember me,
My heavenly Father watches over me.

The road is deserted, the clouds are overcast,
The shepherd watches His sheep until the end
After this world, we’ll see heaven,
My heavenly Father watches over me.


English equivalent:

MY FATHER WATCHES OVER ME
Words: Will­iam C. Mar­tin, 1910. 
Music: Charles H. Ga­bri­el

I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land, or on the rolling sea,
For come what may, from day to day,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

Refrain
I trust in God, I know He cares for me;
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Tho’ billows roll, He keeps my soul;
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

He makes the rose an object of His care,
He guides the eagle thro’ the pathless air,
And surely He remembers me;
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

I trust in God, for, in the lion’s den,
On battlefield, or in the prison pen,
Thro’ praise or blame, thro’ flood or flame,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

The valley may be dark, the shadows deep,
But O, the Shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And thro’ the gloom He’ll lead me home,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.
