Ich folge dir gleichfalls
I too will follow you
mit freudigen Schritten
with joyful steps
Und lasse dich nicht,
And I will not leave you
Mein Leben, mein Licht.
My life, my light.
Befördre den Lauf
Follow your path
Und höre nicht auf
Don’t cease
Selbst an mir zu ziehen, zu schieben
to pull and push me,
zu bitten.
to entreat me.
