A naive sparrow, to the King's courtyard came,
Where now to fly? Where now to go?
A naive sparrow, to the King's courtyard came,
Where now to fly? Where now to go?
Ah, where now to go?

The King, a silken cord, from his lashes weaves,
A silken net, at the opening of eaves.
The King, a silken cord, from his lashes weaves,
A silken net, at the opening of eaves.
Outside the doors, stand they, ah, ah, ah,
Outside the doors, the handsome guardsmen wait,
Where now to fly?
Where now to go?

How shall I dance, my love, in joyous sway?
Clink, clink, clink, clink.
How shall I dance, my love, in joyous sway?
Your heart, you must fill, with sweet words, I say.
Commands he gives, ah, ah, ah,
Commands he gives, commanding he,
Where now to fly?
Ah, where now to go?
A naive sparrow came,
To the King's courtyard, ah,
Where now to fly?
Where now to go?
