Ich will mich [in]1 dein Herz gewöhnen, Daß ich erfülle deinen Willen; Will [dir nur]2 leben zum Versöhnen, Dir muthig jede Thräne stillen. Und was dich freuen mag vom Tage, Will froh am Abend ich dir sagen. Und alles Trübe, jede Klage Will ich allein verschwiegen tragen.

I wish to [accommodate myself]1 to your heart, So that I fulfill your will; I only wish to live for your reconciliation [with your lot], To soothe courageously every one of your tears. And whatever part of my day might bring you joy, I shall happily tell you in the evening. And all dreariness, every complaint I shall bear alone, in silence.
