My temple, empty, my friend,
my temple, empty, my friend.
Though lamps I light, a shimmering dance,
though lamps I light, a shimmering dance,
without my love, the dark descends, my friend,
without my love, the dark descends, my friend.
My temple, empty, my friend,
my temple, empty.

I seek my love in verdant bowers,
I seek my love in verdant bowers,
a song, "Pee-Pee," the forest showers,

A plaintive bird, no lover's call,

without my love, dawn's sorrow falls, my friend,

My temple, empty, my friend,

My eyes, windows, all forlorn,
my eyes, windows, all forlorn,
empty the gates of lashes born,

Without my love, this palace grand,

a hermit's hut in this barren land, my friend,

My temple, empty, my friend,
my temple, empty.
