My Beloved called from Singapore, Singapore, Singapore,
I rushed, I ran, from Jaipur's shore, I rushed, I ran from Jaipur's shore.
My Beloved, oh, my King, He called,
From Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.
I rushed, I ran, from Jaipur's heart, I rushed and flew from Jaipur's start.

He left me, cruel, deceived my love's embrace,
He left me, cruel, betrayed in love's sweet space.
A window in a wall, within my home I sat,
Waiting, in the window, for his return,
The postman brought a letter, oh, the postman brought a letter,
Brought from Singapore, Singapore.
I rushed, I ran, from Jaipur's sight, I rushed and fled from Jaipur's height.

Such words were penned, in that veiled message,
In the guise of a nomad, without wings I came,
Flying to that faraway land, to the stranger's land.
A gust of wind, a whisper,
A gust of wind, a sigh, from Singapore it came.
I rushed, I ran, from Jaipur's plea,
I rushed and flew from Jaipur's decree.

Oh, postman, you are here? Why do you stare?
Look yonder, look beyond.
No address, no trace, just a name, that was all he gave,
What a message, what a call, yet I found the one I sought.
A task of great import, a task of great import,
What was lost in Jaipur, was returned,
Found in Singapore, found in Singapore.
I rushed, I ran, from Jaipur's need,
I rushed and flew from Jaipur's creed.
My Beloved called from Singapore,
Singapore, Singapore.
I rushed, I ran, from Jaipur's core,
I rushed and flew forevermore.
