Hi there! As a new member of this forum I thought it would be nice to share something. So I decided to make a thread about french catholic songs as I’m french and… catholic of course 
I translated every lyrics for you so you can understand what is said even if it’s not always 100% accurate.
I hope you will like it, of course there are many more but these are my favorites, I’d love to have your impressions on it. God bless :harp:

You will know well to protect us.
France, which rises,
God blessed the clear morning .
By Clotilde and Genevieve
Saint Remi and Saint Martin .
Of old Franks, deep faith
Of the Church is the support .
And St. Louis shows to this world
The ideal of the Christian King.
Oh great saints, France is proud
To count with the Lord
So much people whose prayer is a guarantee of happiness.
Chez nous, soyez Reine - Among us, be our Queen
youtube.com/watch?v=5qn519LJG6w
Among us, be Queen, we are yours
Reign with sovereign
Among us, among us
Be the Mother we pray kneeling,
Who smiles and forgives,
Among us, among us
You are our Mother,
Take to your Son
The prayers
Of your beloved children.
Tell those who toil
And suffer without knowing
How heavy is hatred,
How sweet is hope.
Couronnée d’étoiles - Crowned with stars
youtube.com/watch?v=UEmQh77K0Rs
We salute you ,
O Our Lady,
Mary, holy virgin that drapes the sun.
Crowned with stars, with the moon under your feet .
In you is given
The dawn of salvation.
Mary the New Eve and joy of your Lord,
You gave birth to Jesus the Savior.
As you open the doors of the garden
Guide us on the road, Morning Star.
You stayed faithful mother at the foot of the cross,
Support our hope and keep our faith.
On the side of your Son, you drew for us
Water and blood that save from sin.
What was the joy of Eve when you ascended
Above all angels, above the clouds
And what is our joy sweet Virgin Mary,
To behold in you the promise of life
O Immaculate Virgin, preserved from sin,
In your soul, in your body, you enter heaven
Caught in glory, Holy Queen of Heaven ,
You will welcome us one day with God.
And this last one is good for finishing, we sing it at scouts when the evening is over and we go to sleep or when we separate.
**Au revoir camarade - Goodbye friend

Goodbye friend,
May the Lord protect you
On the road where your Angel will protect you,
May the Virgin show you the path of the stars,
Where we will meet tomorrow! (bis)

Jésus Christ s’habille en pauvre - Jesus Christ dresses as a beggar
youtube.com/watch?v=B4o5Zg_EINQ
- Jesus Christ dresses as a beggar
And goes asking for alms
"Sir, who’s at the door,
Have mercy on me. " - "Ah! go away rascal
I have nothing to give you.
The crumbs from your table
Would make my dinner. " - "The crumbs from my table
I keep them for my dogs!
My dogs bring me hares,
Thou shalt not bring me anything. " - "Lady who are at the window
Have mercy on me.
Come in, come, my good poor
A good supper you will find. " - When the beggar finishes,
He asks to go to bed.
“come, come, my good poor
A good fresh bed you will find.” - While entering the room,
They saw great light.
"Oh, tell me, my good poor
The moon rose? " - "Oh no, this is not the moon,
Good are your charities;
Your good works, ma’am,
Are everywhere effused. " - "Oh tell me my good poor
You seem to be Jesus Christ,
Fear not, good lady
I am the King of Heaven. " - “In three days you will be dead,
In Paradise you will go,
and your husband, madam,
Will burn in hell.”
