She is a girl, oh, she is a girl, oh, she is a girl,
A girl within a basket.
Of green, green bamboo, this round, round basket,
Of green, green bamboo, this round, round basket.
A girl in the basket, a girl in the basket,
A girl in the basket.

Her eyes, like lemon slices,
Like the wings of a nightingale.
Her eyes, succulent, intoxicating, sharp,

Her tresses wave like a stubborn serpent,

Fair-skinned, colorful, charming, adorned,

Kings and the wealthy serve this girl,
Oh, kings and the wealthy serve this girl,

Of green, green bamboo, this round, round basket.
The basket in the girl, the girl in the basket,
