Ripe mangoes in the gardens bloom,
Ripe mangoes in the gardens bloom,
While dancers dance, with bells of doom.
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
The scorpion's bite, the poison's swing.
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
The scorpion's bite.

The first love's scorpion, first love's sting,
Will lick my feet, my senses bring,
Then cruelly bite, a venomous thing,
Then cruelly bite.
My fair white skin, my pale, white skin,
Will turn to blue, a bitter win.
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
The scorpion's bite.

Whose loss is it, but mine alone?
My life departs, and I am flown,
My life departs, and I am flown.
No remedy, no help is known,
No remedy.
My pain will stay, my pain will stay,
And ever grow, and fade away.
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
The scorpion's bite.

Pearls abound, and diamonds gleam,
Pearls abound, and diamonds gleam,
Hearts held in hands, it would seem,
Hearts held in hands, it would seem.
Whose hand to take?
My love will rise, a fleeting dream.
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
The scorpion's bite, the poison's swing,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
I will not love, for scorpions sting,
The scorpion's bite.
