Come, foreign king, come, foreign king.
Oh, foreign king, come hither.

Shame and modesty, the water's mirror, eyes can't meet,
shame and modesty, the water's mirror, eyes can't meet.
My youthful beauty, beloved,
my youthful beauty, beloved,
sets the water ablaze, alas!
sets the water ablaze.
Oh, oh, oh, extinguish the fire of the water,
extinguish the fire of the water.
Come, foreign king, come, foreign king.

Oh, foreign king, come hither, oh, foreign king, come hither.
My multi-hued veil, my multi-hued veil,
flies from my head, wind's whims.
Wind's whims, teasing, teasing,
reminds me of you, reminds me of you.
Come with the monsoon, come, oh king.
Oh, foreign king, come hither, oh, foreign king, come hither.
Come, foreign king, come, foreign king.
Come, foreign king, come, foreign king.
