Thanks. It's unbelievable that someone would post 74 Cantatas without giving the names of the vocal soloists. Pure laziness.

Here is a custom english translation made by me: Mine Jesus I won't leave, Because He has given Himself for me, My duty requires To stick to him like glue. He is the light of my life, Mine Jesus I won't leave. As long as a drop of blood Stirs in my heart and veins, Jesus alone Shall be my life and all. My Jesus, who does such great things for me: I can give nothing but my body and life As a gift to Him. And when the hard blow of death Weakens the senses, moves the limbs, When the day hated by the flesh Brings only fear and terror, Yet the confidence comforts: I won't leave my Jesus. Though ah! What heavy sorrow The soul still feels here? Does not the deeply wounded heart Become a desert and a torture chamber At the painful loss of Jesus? Alas, my spirit sees in faith And to the place where faith and hope shines, Where, after completing my race, I will embrace You, Jesus, forever. withdraw yourself, my heart, from the world, You will find your true pleasure in heaven. When your eyes behold the Savior in the future, Only then will your longing heart be refreshed, Only then will it be satisfied in Jesus. Jesus I won't leave from me, I will always go by His side; Christ forever leads me To the streams of life. Blessed, he who with me so speaks: Mine Jesus I won't leave.
