This heart of mine is held in pledge in your hands—to
My heart lies captive in your hands
where shall I return, [unclear word] of longing and torment?
Till when shall I return, overflowing with yearning and joy?

How can I journey without a heart or a soul?
How can I journey on without a heart or soul?
