Oh, fair one, hasten near,
Where is your land, my sweet? Where is your home?
To see you wounds me, pierces deep,
Where is your land, my sweet? Where is your home?

Crimson shawl, a forest's bloom,
Crimson shawl, where blossoms stream,
Your cheeks ablaze, my spirit sighs,
Your cheeks ablaze, my heart laments.

Where your shadow falls, there my path,
My love, my path, where you will stay,
Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas!
How have you changed your guise, my dear?
Where is your land, my sweet? Where is your home?

Wander, wander, through every lane,
To my beloved's door, I yearn,
At every turn, your anklets call,
At every turn, your anklets sing.
On the way, my anklets sing,
Beneath the earth and sky, we dance,
Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas!
Your dark hair, now a fluttering crown,
Where is your land, my sweet? Where is your home?

Eyes, eyes, with kohl-lined depths,
Searching, seeking, for my love's embrace,
See the flying clouds, no day, no night,
See the flying clouds, no day, no night.
Light exists, and darkness too,
Evening, and then morning’s hue,
Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas!
For nomads, there is no home, my dear,
Where is your land, my sweet? Where is your home?
To see you wounds me, pierces deep,
Where is your land, my sweet? Where is your home?
