How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze of the world descends,
How shall I go, lest the gaze descends?
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?

My forehead's jewel, its luster will fade,
My Jaipur scarf, its colors will bleed,
Alas, colors will fade,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?

My slender waist, oh father, it falters,
Oh father, it falters, oh father, it falters,
My slender waist, oh father, it falters,
Oh father, it falters, oh father, it falters,
My delicate wrist, the beloved will turn,
Oh, the beloved will turn,
Alas, colors will fade,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?

See, my family, they heap their woes on me,
Their woes on me, their woes on me,
My flower-like form, this mountain-like burden,
This mountain-like burden, this mountain-like burden,
Alas, this weight, I cannot lift,
Cannot bear, cannot bear,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
A gaze, alas, a cruel fate,
How shall I go to fetch the water,
Lest the gaze descends?
