How to Say “Save My Soul” in French

By •
sauve mon âme
The phrase "save my soul" in French is translated as sauve mon âme.

Did you know?

  • The word âme is a homonym for the 'soul' or 'core' of a technical object, such as the inner bore of a gun barrel or the center of a rope.
  • The word âme comes from the Latin anima, which means 'breath'. In ancient contexts, the soul was not an abstract concept but the very breath of life itself.
  • While sauve mon âme is a literal translation, French speakers often use the phrase sauver les meubles to mean saving what can be salvaged from a disaster.

Examples in context

  • Sauve mon âme, je suis perdu(e)
    Save my soul, I am lost.
  • Seigneur, sauve mon âme.
    Lord, save my soul.
  • Priez pour que Dieu sauve mon âme.
    Pray that God saves my soul.
