By father's oath, by mother's vow,
By yours, and by my soul's own now,
Oh, by father's oath, by mother's vow,
By yours, and by my soul's own now,
Take any oath, ah, ah,
I am none but yours, I vow,
By the whole world's oath, I bow.

To new fish, to new butterfly,
Your gaze does seek, I sigh.
To fetch water, a queen does glide,
In curd churn, where secrets hide,
Thus your waist, a graceful tide.

We shall not heed your words, you're false, my love,

Such youth, such beauty, none I've known,
The world I've seen, alone.
To how many have I said the same, with how many did I roam,
How many have you ensnared, home?

Not in dreams have I seen another, by your oath, I moan.

We watch, we stand, and see,
The tresses' lucky decree.
We kiss your cheeks, with glee,
Bubbles try to ensnare, by speech, they try to appease,
I know your ways, with ease.
