Our translations: CAT ENG ENG FRE FRE ITA SPA

Herr! schicke, was du [willt]¹,
Ein Liebes oder Leides;
Ich bin vergnügt, daß beides
Aus deinen Händen quillt.

Wollest mit Freuden 
[Und wollest]² mit Leiden
Mich nicht überschütten!
Doch in der Mitten,
Liegt holdes Bescheiden.

Plegaria

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

Envíame, ¡Señor!, lo que tú quieras,
el amor o la pena;
gusto me da que ambos
de tus manos procedan.

No de gozos empero, 
ni de pesares
quieras colmarme. 
Bien se halla entre ambos   
el dulce resignarse.
