English
Before I take you for my bride, I have some things I want to say
They're pretty strict, but please listen to what I really want
You must not go to bed before me
Nor must you get up later than me
Make good food, and look good at all times
I don't mind how good that is, as long as you do your best
Don't forget, a man who cannot do a job
Has no hope of looking after a household
There are things that only you can do
For everything else, follow me without objection
Your parents and my parents are one and the same, take good care of them
Create good relationships with your mother- and siblings-in-law
It should be easy; all you have to do is love them
Do not spread rumours about others, nor listen to them
And do not get jealous over silly things
I won't cheat on you; well, I probably won't
I don't think I will; just be a little prepared
Happiness is something we create together
It surely isn't something that one person struggles to create
You are giving up your home to come to me
So consider yourself to have nowhere to go back to
From now on, I am your home
When our children have grown up and we have grown old
You must not die before me
Even one day after is fine
You just mustn't go before me
I don't need anything else, just hold my hand
And shed two or more tears
I'll say "Thanks to you, I had a good life"
No matter what, I'll say that
Don't forget, the woman I love
The woman I love is you, only you, for my whole life
Don't forget, the woman I love
