Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love.

Laughter, and eyes of azure deep, to steal my peace,
Laughter, and eyes of azure deep, to steal my peace,
Forever restless, longing to release,
Silently they work their art, a silent grace.
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love.

You've claimed a fair and radiant hue, in European ways,
You've claimed a fair and radiant hue, in European ways,
How gracefully you move, in a captivating maze,
How gracefully you move, in a captivating maze.
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love.

We are free birds, unbound and wild, unyielding souls,
We are free birds, unbound and wild, unyielding souls,
Though hunter’s snare its cruel fate unfolds,
The hunter's trap, the hunter's cage,
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love,
At beauty's sight, my soul undone, my love.
Oh, the pulse of green and lentil brown.
