Do not sway, walk not so, oh, do not,
lest a heart be torn.
Do not sway, walk not so, oh, do not,
lest a heart be torn.
Do not laugh so softly, a traveler will lose his way,
ah, a traveler will lose his way.
Do not sway, walk not so, oh, do not,
lest a heart be torn.

From kohl, a heart is cleaved, eyes, facets of diamond,
from kohl, a heart is cleaved, eyes, facets of diamond.
Light will spill across the pathways,
light will spill across the pathways,
moonlight upon your face.
Do not let your tresses fall free, oh, do not,
lest a heart be ensnared.
Do not sway, walk not so, oh, do not,
lest a heart be torn.

Lest sharp glances should pierce the heart, restrain them,
lest sharp glances should pierce the heart, restrain them.
Lest a sigh escape another,
lest a sigh escape another,
restrain your every charm.
Do not rise like a cloud, oh, do not,
lest a thirsty one should yearn.
Do not sway, walk not so, oh, do not,
lest a heart be torn.
