My father, my home is slipping,
My father, oh my father,
My home, it slips away.

Four pallbearers gather, my palanquin adorned,
Four pallbearers gather, my palanquin adorned,
My own, and strangers, all fading now,
My home, it slips away,
My father, my home is slipping.

The courtyard, a mountain now, the doorway, foreign lands,
The courtyard, a mountain now, the doorway, foreign lands,
Take me, father, to your home, take me, father,
Father, father,
Take me, father, to your home,
I journey now to my beloved's land,
I journey now to my beloved's land,
I journey now to my beloved's land,
My father, my home is slipping,
My father, oh my father,
My home, it slips away.
