To Read In The Morning And At Night...

Bertolt Brecht

[Original]

Morgens und abends zu lesen
Der, den ich liebe
Hat mir gesagt
Da er mich braucht.

Darum
Gebe ich auf mich acht
Sehe auf meinen Weg und
Fürchte von jedem Regentropfen
Da er mich erschlagen könnte.

[Translation]

To read in the morning and at night
My love
Has told me
That he needs me.

That's why
I take good care of myself
Watch out where I'm going and
Fear that any drop of rain
Might kill me.
