| I would not love you if I understood you
|
| I do not want to behold your face
|
| Uncomprehending, I’m contented
|
| Knowing my station and my place
|
| O precious saviour, o great creator
|
| Don’t give me signs, I don’t want to see
|
| Thereto by far, that you stay unfathomed
|
| I could not love someone like me
|
| I would not love you if I understood you

|
| O precious saviour, o great creator
|
| Don’t give me signs, I don’t want to see
|
| Thereto by far, that you stay unfathomed
|
| I could not love someone just like me
|
| Uncomprehending, I’m contented
