Original text and translations
German text
- Ich liebe dich, so wie du mich,
- Am Abend und am Morgen,
- Noch war kein Tag, wo du und ich
- Nicht teilten unsre Sorgen.
- Auch waren sie für dich und mich
- Geteilt leicht zu ertragen;
- Du tröstetest im Kummer mich,
- Ich weint in deine Klagen.
- Drum Gottes Segen über dir,
- Du, meines Lebens Freude.
- Gott schütze dich, erhalt dich mir,
- Schütz und erhalt uns beide.

- I love you as you love me,
- in the evening and the morning,
- nor was there a day when you and I
- did not share our troubles.
- And when we shared them
- they became easier to bear;
- you comforted me in my distress,
- and I wept in your laments.
- Therefore, may God's blessing be upon you,
- You, my life's joy.
- God protect you, keep you for me,
- and protect and keep us both.
