Oh, Master, such deeds, refrain, I pray,
We are yours, from us, do not look away.
Lest you rise and depart this gathering,
Lest you rise and depart this gathering,
With eyes so full of longing, do not gaze,
With eyes of such desire, do not amaze.

Whose beauty rivals Paradise's gleam,
The full moon, ashamed, has lost its dream.
Oh, to salute that moon, what a feat!
Oh, such a beautiful act, bittersweet!
If homage is paid, then do not scorn,
Scorn, scorn, scorn, do not be forlorn.
Oh, Master, such deeds, refrain, I implore.

How long must we forgive your playful grace?
We must tell you now, with unyielding space,
We must tell you now, with unyielding grace:
Oh, you may not know the rules of beauty's art,
This is a gathering of decorum, not a drunken heart.
Have a few drinks, do not then lose your way,
Lose your way, lose your way, do not stray.
With eyes so full of longing, do not gaze.

You smiled and rose, saluted, then departed,
With your gaze, a massacre, you imparted,
Departed, with a glance, a massacre imparted.
Oh, loosening your tresses, your veil held near,
Oh, where are you going, leaving us in fear?
Leave us be, oh please, just let us be,
Oh, do not be angry, set us free.
Angry, angry, angry, do not be.
Oh, Master, such deeds, refrain, I pray.

You are not alone, a thousand lovers plead,
A thousand offer their lives, in our need,
A thousand, their lives for us to concede.
A thousand offer their lives, our hearts to feed.
Oh, in love's promises, we place no trust,
The time of loyalty, a fluttering dust.
What to do, if in this, we don't repent?
Repent, repent, repent, to be content!
Repent, repent, repent, to be content!
With eyes so full of longing, do not gaze.
Oh, Master, such deeds, refrain, I pray.
We are yours, from us, do not look away.
Oh, Master, such deeds, refrain, I pray.
With eyes so full of longing, do not gaze.
Lest you depart from this gathering, again,
With eyes so full of longing, do not gaze.
Oh, Master, such deeds, refrain, I pray.
We are yours, from us, do not look away.
