Auf Wiedersehen
One day we must all cross the one stranded river. Where then will you be?
1 Auf Wiederseh’n! Ich frage dich nimmer mehr
Ob du auf mich an dem Weg warten wollest
Weil ich zum Todesstrand gefahren bin
Und hier nimmer mehr züruckkommen kann.
Es tut mir leid
A song that could have been sung by the villagers to the returning Naomi, but that it is in German!
1 Es tut mir leid
um deinet willen:
Deine grimmige Not
kehrt dich unwillig um.
2 Es tut mir leid
dich anzusehen:
Deine glänzenden Aug’n
seh’n sich weinerlich um.
3 Es tut mir leid
du bist betrübt:
Der Allmächtige
gegen dich gesprochen hat.
4 Es tut mir leid
Na, es wird mir mehr leid tun:
Wenn er dich nicht
mit Sorge züchtigt,
Um dich zu verbessern
mit Heil und Gerechtigkeit.

La partida
La partida es tan dulce pena
Que diria buenas noches
Hasta que fuera mañana
Duerme el lamento en sus ojos
Paz en su pecho
Tendria sueño
Y paz tan dulce como para descansar?
La partida es tan dulce pena
La partida es tan dulce pena
William Shakespeare

Oh my Lord, O my Lord,
I need thee near me

And walk by thy dear side

O how I need thy tender mercies
Each and ev’ry single day
Oh my Lord, O my Lord,
I need thee near me
All the days yes,
All of the days of my life,
Yes, all of the days of my life
O my Lord,
My Lord

Each and ev’ry single day
Oh my Lord,
My Lord,
I need thee near me
All the days yes,

Warum nie?
Warum kann ich nie?
1 Warum kann ich nie vergessen
Dich wer hübsch und süss doch strahlt’st?
Dein Gesicht so klar
So fein dein Harr
Ich weiss nicht, na, was ich tue.
2 Warum kann ich nie vergessen
Dich wer mit mir sprachtest?
Die Worten so klar
Wen du sagtest da
Nun ich höre dich immer im Sinn.
3 Warum kann ich nie vergessen
Dich wer bei mich betrübt schientest?
Du warest so klar
Und ich ein Narr
Um deinetwillen geh’ ich ab.
4 Wie kann ich dich immer vergessen
Dich wer mich hältet’st in Angst?
Das Ergebnis so klar
Verliesset mich bar.
Ich habe nie Hoffnung nie Rüh’.
Wie kann ich dich immer vergessen?
So hilfst du mir mein Gott
