Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Romanian (Română) 
Herr, nach deinem Wohlgefallen
tu' mir, dass ich Frieden finde.
Wand'le mich zum Silbertäubchen,
dass ich fliege gleich dem Winde;

fliege über Berg und Tal
und an ihrem grünen Hügel
Lind'rung finde meiner Qual!
Dass ich trau're dort und klage
um das Unglück meinmer Tage!
