What hues adorn the pearls, what hues the gems?
What hues the pearls, what hues the gems?

In what colour shall I dye, oh, my beloved?
All hues the pearls, white the gleam of gems,
All hues the pearls, white the gleam of gems.
Darkness, darkness, has claimed my beloved, oh.

Pearls have dried, the gems have scattered,
Pearls have dried, the gems have scattered.
Without him, I gather the gems,
Without him, I gather the gems,
Without him, I gather the gems,
And soothe him, soothe him, my beloved.

Where do the pearls gleam, where do the gems?
Where do the pearls gleam, where do the gems?
Oh, where does he gleam? Rings adorn the pearls, the teeth the gems.
Rings adorn the pearls,
Rings adorn the pearls, the teeth the gems,
The heart the beloved.

What hues adorn the pearls, what hues the gems?
What hues the pearls, what hues the gems?
