Schicksal |
Fate |
Und wie ich jederzeit bedacht |
And just as I have ever been mindful, |
Mit aller Sorg und Macht, |
With all care and might, |
Weil du es wert bist, dich zu schützen |
To protect you, because you are worthy of it, |
Und wider alles dich zu unterstützen, |
And to support you against all things, |
So hör ich auch nicht ferner auf, |
So I will also henceforth not cease |
Vor dich zu wachen |
To watch over you, |
Und deines Ruhmes Ehrenlauf |
And to make your renown’s path of honor |
Erweiterter und blühender zu machen. |
More extended and more thriving. |
transl. Michael Marissen and Daniel R. Melamed |
