Ich will mich in dein Herz gewöhnen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Ich will mich in dein Herz gewöhnen,
Daß ich erfülle deinen Willen;
Will dir nur 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.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

I wish to accommodate myself 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.
