O zürne nicht, wenn mein Begehren [Dunkel]1 aus seinen Grenzen bricht, Soll es uns selber nicht verzehren, Muß es heraus ans Licht! Fühlst ja, wie all mein Innres brandet, Und wenn herauf der Aufruhr bricht, Jäh über deinen Frieden strandet, Dann bebst du aber du zürnst mir nicht.

O be not angry, when my desire [Darkly]1 breaks through its boundaries, If it is not to consume us, It has to come out to the light! You clearly can feel how I churn inside, And when my rapture breaks to the surface, Abruptly inundates your peace, Then you tremble but are not angry with me.
