Let only that little be left of me
Language: English after the Bangla (Bengali)
Let only that little be left of me
whereby I may name thee my all.
Let only that little be left of my will
whereby I may feel thee
on every side, and come to thee in everything,
and offer to thee my love every moment.
Let only that little be left of me
whereby I may never hide thee.
Let only that little of my fetters be left
whereby I am bound with thy will,
and thy purpose is carried out in my life -
and that is the fetter of thy love.

Erhalte von mir nur so viel
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Erhalte von mir nur so viel,
womit ich dich mein Alles nennen kann.
Erhalt’ von meinem Wollen nur so viel,
womit ich dich an allen Seiten spüren kann,
zu dir gelang’ in jedem Ding,
dir meine Liebe schenke jeden Augenblick.
Erhalte von mir nur so viel,
in dem ich niemals dich verbergen kann.
Erhalt’ von meinen Banden nur so viel,
womit an deinen Willen ich gebunden bin,
und du in meinem Leben mich zu deinem Ziele führst:
der Bande deiner Liebe.
