Glück |
Fortune |
Was die Seele kann ergötzen, |
That which the soul can enjoy, |
Was vergnügt und hoch zu schätzen, |
That which pleases and is to be highly cherished, |
Soll dir lehn und erblich sein. |
Shall be manorial and hereditary to you. |
Meine Fülle soll nichts sparen |
My abundance shall spare nothing |
Und dir reichlich offenbaren, |
And shall richly reveal to you |
Dass mein ganzer Vorrat dein. |
That my whole store [of fortune is] yours. |
transl. Michael Marissen and Daniel R. Melamed |
