Das Stimmlein [English translation]

Sing, my voice, sing your song

Alone and you will make it to eternity

Dance, soul, don't fear

The voice sings a song for you

There's a unique sound to

Every voice

Every countenance in this world

Deserves to be counted as unique

Every soul on its own

Has a body

So that it can also

Start its own life

Refrain:

Sing, my voice, sing your song

Alone and you will make it to eternity

Dance, soul, don't fear

The voice sings a song for you

Voice and soul dive into the countenance

And they are joined uniquely

For a whole lifetime

This one triumvirate

To be one being in this world

(A being) That fancies itself in this world

To be a being of each kind

Which still is unique

Refrain:

Sing, my voice, sing your song

Alone and you will make it to eternity

Dance, soul, don't fear

The voice sings a song for you

From time to time the voice might

Also be much too quiet

So, small voice, imagine

You'd be firmer when singing in a choir
