Aria. Du machst, o Tod, mir nun nicht...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Du machst, o Tod, mir nun nicht ferner bange,
Wenn ich durch dich die Freiheit nur erlange,
Es muss ja so einmal gestorben sein.
Mit Simeon will ich in Friede fahren,
Mein Heiland will mich in der Gruft bewahren
Und ruft mich einst zu sich verklärt und rein.

Aria. You, O Death, no longer frighten me
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You, O Death, no longer frighten me,
Because, through you, I only gain my freedom,
One must, indeed, one day die.
With Simeon I will travel into peace,
My Savior will guard me in the tomb
And will call me to Himself, transfigured and pure.
