O, Dyer, dye my scarf,
the mustard fields have turned so gold.
O, Dyer, dye my scarf,
the mustard fields have turned so gold.
Today, a green, tomorrow a red, the next day, a blue embrace,
Today, a green, tomorrow a red, the next day, a blue embrace.
O, Dyer, dye my scarf,
the mustard fields have turned so gold.

If worn at dawn, my love will circle near,
If worn at dawn, my love will circle near,
If worn at dusk, my love will never stray,
my love will never stray,
If worn at dusk, my love will never stray,
my love will never stray.
When night descends, I'll gleam like fireflies,
like fireflies,
O, Dyer, dye my scarf,
the mustard fields have turned so gold.

My heart ablaze, the scarf so free,
My heart ablaze, the scarf so free,
When sprinkled on my love,
When sprinkled on my love,
like gentle dew,
like gentle dew.
My lips a blush of rose and red,
my eyes shyly gleam,
my eyes shyly gleam.
O, Dyer, dye my scarf,
the mustard fields have turned so gold.
