You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad,
Seeing you, my heart did pound, pound,
You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad.

Beneath the coconut palms, a maiden, Madras born,
A bud, like cotton, newly sworn.
Beneath the coconut palms, a maiden, Madras born,
A bud, like cotton, newly sworn.
He, from Punjab, teases me, a lad so bold,
A bloom, like a rose, to behold.
You, a lad, I, a maiden, maiden,
You, a lad, I, a maiden, my soul is shaken.
You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad, seeing you, my heart did pound, pound,
You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad.

The legend of your beauty, when I heard its tale,
Here, by Chenab, I set my sail.
The legend of your beauty, when I heard its tale,
Here, by Chenab, I set my sail.
Your name I heard, from Madras I did flee,
And now, beside you, I shall be.
You, a lad, I, a maiden, maiden,
You, a lad, I, a maiden, my soul is shaken.
You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad, seeing you, my heart did pound, pound,
You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad.

Your eyes, a potion sweet, a raven's grace your stride,
My heart declares, with naught to hide.
Your eyes, a potion sweet, a raven's grace your stride,
My heart declares, with naught to hide.
You too, complete, a moon of the fourteenth night,
You, a lad, I, a maiden, maiden,
You, a lad, I, a maiden, my soul is shaken.
You, a maiden, I, a lad, a lad,
You, a maiden, I, a lad, seeing you, my heart did pound, pound,
