Stranger, a stranger in a foreign land, a stranger in a foreign land,
My hair, a cascade of curls.
Oh, King, those curly locks, oh!
In the heart, a surge of longing, in the eyes, a sorcerous spell,
Upon the head, a golden snare.
Oh, King, a golden snare upon the head.
Oh, King, my King,
My hair, a cascade of curls, oh!
In the heart, a surge of longing, in the eyes, a sorcerous spell,
Oh, King, a golden snare upon the head.
Oh, King, my King.

Stranger, a stranger in a foreign land, a stranger in a foreign land,
Oh, the hearts, oh, the hearts,
The hearts, ensnared within this net,
Can never break free.
Can never break free.
The hearts, ensnared within this net,
Can never break free.
Can never break free.
They sigh with cold breaths, poor souls,
And throb, and remain in a flutter.
They sigh with cold breaths, poor souls,
And throb, and remain in a flutter.
They cannot speak the heart's true plight,
Oh, King, they cannot speak the heart's true plight.
In the heart, a surge of longing, in the eyes, a sorcerous spell,
Upon the head, a golden snare.
Oh, King, a golden snare upon the head.
Oh, King, my King,
My hair, a cascade of curls, oh!
Oh, King, those curly locks, oh!
In the heart, a surge of longing, in the eyes, a sorcerous spell,
Upon the head, a golden snare.
Oh, King, a golden snare upon the head.
Oh, King, my King.
Stranger, a stranger in a foreign land, a stranger in a foreign land.

Oh, behold my, oh, behold my,
Behold my intoxicated eyes,
The world cries out in woe.
The world cries out in woe.
As I walk, with my slender waist,
It sways and undulates.
It sways and undulates.
My playful, swaying gait,
Oh, King, my playful, swaying gait.
In the heart, a surge of longing, in the eyes, a sorcerous spell,
Upon the head, a golden snare.
Oh, King, a golden snare upon the head.
Oh, King, my King,
My hair, a cascade of curls, oh!
Oh, King, those curly locks, oh!
In the heart, a surge of longing, in the eyes, a sorcerous spell,
Upon the head, a golden snare.
Oh, King, a golden snare upon the head.
Oh, King, my King.
Stranger, a stranger in a foreign land, a stranger in a foreign land.
