Wedding Prayers and Meditation

You know well that you are my everything. Oh don't take your beautiful eyes off me, I'll talk about our happiness with you, who are my everything! You know well that you are my everything. O don't look enviously at the flowers that fade early from within the brook that leads you, you are my everything! You know well that you are my everything.

Oh soon, I feel it, you will have died and leave this poor heart alone, to which you are everything! If you have a word of love, don't lock it up in your heart. Break it as a twig from the branch to cool bitter pains. Let it flow from your mouth immediately as a breath of peace, like a greeting from home, like a native word, it will greet the wanderer. The world is full of hate, the wounds are bleeding all around. A word that flows from the heart makes many a heart healthy.

Wedding without a Pastor

Now all the longing birds have flown away before the voice of my happiness. I silently watch the clouds dash into the blue above my window. They no longer lure me to distant shores. As once, when stars, wind and sun drew me defenseless into the distance. In your love I am wrapped in a coat. I feel your heart beat twitching over my heart. Descend blissfully into the chamber of my happiness, deep inside me, like a bird that ducks its head into its downy feathers in a summer-dark dream.

Now the world lies surrounded by a rigid winter night, what good is it that by the fireplace I thought of vanished love? The fire wants to go out, the last log burns up, the flames become ashes, that's the end of the song, the end of the old song, I can't think of anything new than silence and forgetting. And when will I forget you?
