Gute Nacht, o Wesen, Das die Welt erlesen! chosen by the world! Mir gefällst du nicht. You do not please me. Gute Nacht, ihr Sünden, Good night, you sins, Bleibet weit dahinten, stay far behind me, Kommt nicht mehr ans Licht! come no more to light! Gute Nacht, du Stolz und Pracht! Good night, you pride and splendour! Dir sei ganz, du Lasterleben, To you, my burdensome life, a final Gute Nacht gegeben! good night I bid! |
