[Schließe mir]1 die Augen beide mit den lieben Händen zu; geht doch alles, was ich leide, unter deiner Hand zur Ruh. Und wie leise sich der Schmerz Well' [um]2 Welle schlafen [leget]3, [wie]4 der letzte Schlag sich [reget]5, füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

1. Close both my eyes
Language: English
Close both my eyes with your dear hands; So everything that I suffer goes to rest under your hand. And as silently the pain, wave by wave, goes to sleep; as the last blow falls, you fill my whole heart.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Meine Mutter hat's gewollt, Den andern ich nehmen sollt'; Was ich zuvor besessen, Mein Herz sollt' es vergessen; Das hat es nicht gewollt. Meine Mutter klag' ich an, Sie hat nicht wohlgetan; Was sonst in Ehren stünde, Nun [ist es worden]1 Sünde. Was fang ich an? Für all' mein Stolz und Freud' Gewonnen hab' ich Leid. Ach, wär' das nicht [geschehen]2, Ach, könnt' ich betteln [gehen]3 Über die braune Haid'!
