Translation

```

I have to please all and sundry.

Therefore, my life is in constant preparation.

O Lord, You never make any demand.

Therefore, I have kept no place for You

In my life.

You come to me in the garb of a beggar.

In silence-light you destroy all my suffering.

Alas, yet I do not know

Who is my real friend.

Since I do not know,

I try to satisfy all and sundry

And, what is worse,

In their own way.

```
