Hat er es denn beschlossen,
|
If he has determined it so,
|
So will ich unverdrossen
|
Then I will go unwearily
|
An mein Verhängnis gehn!
|
About my [God-given] lot.
|
Kein Unfall unter allen
|
Not one mishap among them all
|
Soll mir zu harte fallen,
|
Shall come down too harshly on me;
|
Ich will ihn überstehn. |
I will endure it. |
