Und ob du mich ließest So Nächte wie Tag, Und ob du mich fliehest, Ich folge dir nach. Und ob du auch eilest, Und wanderst so sehr, Weit über dem Meere, Ich folg' dir aufs Meer. Mit Nöten und Kummer Durch Meere und Welt, Durch Welten und Meere, Wohin dir's gefällt.

And if you left me By night as by day, And if you fled from me, I would follow you. And even if you hurried, And wandered so much, Far over the sea, I would follow you upon the sea. With difficulties and tribulation Through seas and the world, Through worlds and seas, Wherever it pleases you to go.
