Ik wil zuinig zijnTo Be Sparing

Care as discipline: to keep and to spare.

Ik wil zuinig zijn (Nederlands)

Ik wil zuinig zijn—

zuinig zijn
op jouw oogopslag,
op ieder verstild gebaar.

Zuinig zijn
op jouw woorden,
op alles wat niet gezegd is.

Zuinig zijn—
en alles in mijn hart bewaren:
dát is wat ik wil.

To Be Sparing (English)

I want to be sparing—

sparing
with your glance,
with every stilled gesture.

Sparing
with your words,
with all that is not said.

Sparing—
and keeping all in my heart:
that is what I want.
