O King, the rival's tresses long,

Do not be ensnared, ah, do not be ensnared,

Forget me not, O my King.

O Queen, I must journey afar,
O Queen, I must journey afar,
Send me your messages, oh, send your messages,
O Queen,
Forget me not, O my King.

Do not go East, O my King,

Chasing the gardener's girl,

Do not be wounded,
Oh, do not be wounded,

Forget me not, O my King.

My heart will stay with you,

Send me your messages, oh, send your messages,

Do not be swayed,
Ah, do not be swayed,

Forget me not, O my King.

Though thirsty, I shall not go to the well,
Though thirsty, I shall not go to the well,
You alone quench my thirst,
O Queen, you alone quench my thirst,
Send me your messages, oh, send your messages,
O Queen,
Forget me not, O my King.
