so dwindle on my candle

so dwindle on sweet candle

consume my lasting time

till nothing still is left

- for I don't need it any more,

my sweet, still lasting time ...

I' ve nothing left to say,

my last breath is consumed,

I've nothing left to wish

for all my life is done,

I've nothing here to wait

and not to wish and dwindle,

for all my life is done ..

so dwindle on my candle,

don't let me wait so long,

so dwindle on and take my time

for it is also thine

..

consume my lasting time

and take me far away

my last thin breath is thine,

so you don't have to burn to death

when I have gone before you ...

so take, but take my time!

and I'll be on my way,

can now at last be gone ...

so take my last thin breath

my last gift still to give

and I will no more live ...

goodbye,

sweet candle,

don't dwindle on

for I have gone now by myself,

goodbye.
