Oh, the Scorpion

Beneath the peepal's shade, a moment's rest,
A water jug held close, a heavy breast,
Oh, my love, oh.

Oh, oy, oy, oy, oy
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
Oh, alas, I die, someone take it from me,
Oh, alas, I die, someone take it from me,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
What a cruel scorpion, scorpion,
What a cruel scorpion, scorpion,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me.

I chant spells upon this tender form,
Leave me, depart, release me, storm,
Oh, oy, oy, oy, oy
And still the wicked scorpion does not leave,
And still the wicked scorpion does not leave,
What fire did the wicked scorpion ignite?
What fire did the wicked scorpion ignite?
It has spread across my entire form,
It has spread across my entire form,
What a cruel scorpion, scorpion,
What a cruel scorpion, scorpion,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me.

Oh, my spells are false, and the healer too,
Return to my love, return anew,
Oh, oy, oy, oy, oy
Behold, behold, the scorpion has descended,
Behold, behold, the scorpion has descended,
The sting has broken, fallen away,
The sting has broken, fallen away,
Seeing my love, it vanished from my sway,
Seeing my love, it vanished from my sway,
What a cruel scorpion, scorpion,
What a cruel scorpion, scorpion,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
The wicked scorpion climbed on me,
Oh, alas, I die, someone take it from me,
Oh, alas, I die, someone take it from me.
