I am only waiting for love [German translation]

I am only waiting for love

to give myself up at last into his hands.

That is why it is so late

and why I have been guilty of such omissions.

They come with their laws and their codes

to bind me fast;

but I evade them ever,

for I am only waiting for love

to give myself up at last into his hands.

People blame me and call me heedless;

I doubt not they are right in their blame.

The market day is over

and work is all done for the busy.

Those who came to call me in vain

have gone back in anger.

I am only waiting for love

to give myself up at last into his hands.
