All mein Gedanken, die ich hab by Johannes Brahms — Lyrics
1. All mein Gedanken, die ich hab, die sind bei dir,
du auserwählter ein'ger Trost, bleib stet bei mir.
Du, du, du sollst an mich gedenken,
hätt ich aller Wünsch Gewalt,
von dir wollt´ ich nicht wanken.
2. Du auserwählter ein´ger Trost, gedenk daran,
mein Leib und Gut, das sollst du ganz zu eigen han.

About All mein Gedanken, die ich hab
This German Lied by Johannes Brahms is a reflective piece for SATB choir. The text speaks of unwavering devotion and the comfort found in a chosen beloved, expressing a deep longing and commitment. The first verse establishes the singer's thoughts being consumed by their beloved, who is their sole comfort. The second verse continues this theme, offering complete possession of self and property to the beloved, who provides joy and dispels sorrow. The final verse contrasts the beloved with others, emphasizing their unique tenderness and the difficulty of parting. This intimate and passionate text is brought to life by Brahms's sensitive setting, making it suitable for a moment of profound personal expression in a concert setting.
