Now we will calmly tie the knot

Now we will calmly tie the knot

And go forward, honestly and upright, almost without any timidity,

And take this greatest risk in life:

Two completely interlaced lives.

We will untiringly go on weaving the days

That are completely new to us,

And ask ourselves each night and morning

If we are in one accord with our striving.

And be in one accord with our innate

Insatiable craving and thirsting for each other,

And steadily ennoble ourselves mentally and spiritually:

So that we, in the end, like the shaft of an arrow

Of one piece and in a single shot

Rise to a new realm of better birth.
