Golden, golden, my love, a vision of gold,
Golden, my love, a vision unfolds,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision of gold.

Golden, golden, my love, a vision of gold,
Golden, my love, a vision to hold,
Come, come, for India's love, I'd give all I own,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision of gold.

Oh, golden, golden, my love, a vision that departs,
Why wound my heart, why these cruel arts?
Why torment this madman, where do you flee?
Meet my eyes, my love, look into me.
Don't be angry, my love, keep it at bay,
Meet my eyes, my love, come what may.
Don't be angry, my love, my life you will take,
This army of yours, it makes me forsake,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision of grace,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision I embrace.

Oh, golden, golden, my love, a vision so bright,
When an Indian lover makes a vow of his light,
My love, of living or dying, he knows no fear,
Don't be so proud, my love, hold God ever near.
Don't be so proud, my love, hold God ever near.
For without love, in this world, who can bear?
Golden, golden, my love, a vision so rare,
Oh golden, golden, my love, a vision to share.

Oh, golden, golden, my love, a vision so true,
Oh, golden, golden, my love, a vision anew,
Come, come, for India's love, I'd give all to you,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision to pursue,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision to imbue,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision to renew,
Golden, golden, my love, a vision to view.
