about
This lovely and oft-requested air is found in the 1725 Anna Magdalena Bach notebook (no. 25). Formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach the popular air has been confirmed as the work of Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel from his opera Diomedes, oder die triumphierende Unschuld, performed in Bayreuth on November 16, 1718.
lyrics
Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden
zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende,
es drückten deine schönen Hände
mir die getreuen Augen zu.
If you are with me, then I will go gladly
to death and to my rest.
Ah, what a delightful end for me,
if your lovely hands close my faithful eyes.
zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende,
es drückten deine schönen Hände
mir die getreuen Augen zu.
If you are with me, then I will go gladly
to death and to my rest.
Ah, what a delightful end for me,
if your lovely hands close my faithful eyes.
