The fishermen are men, they say,
while I am of the girls.
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?
Unwed, in the in-laws' home,
how did I arrive?
I, of the girls...
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?

First, you met eyes with eyes,
met eyes, and stole my sleep,
stole my sleep, and stole my peace.
As all do, you arrived.
You, of the girls...
Into the girls’ net,
so you came.
Into the girls’ net,
so you came.

Smooth, so fair the untouched form,
slipping eyes, alas, oh woe!
Smooth, so fair the untouched form,
slipping eyes.
In the deep river of eyes,
drowned your lover.
Cool, cool waters, seeing youth, Rama,
seeing the bride, I was frightened.
I, of the girls...
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?

In the heart's hut, you came,
a yogi you became.
Fool, you understand nothing!
In the heart's hut, you came,
a yogi you became.
The love-bird you ensnared,
I, the net of beauty, spread.
Such longing arose,
such fire awakened, Rama.
Deceiver, in my heart, you were dear.
You, of the girls...
Re re re re re, ooh ooh!
Into the girls’ net,
so you came.
Into the girls’ net,
so you came.
Unwed, in the in-laws' home,
how did I arrive?
I, of the girls...
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?
Into the girls’ net,
how did I fall?
