1. The one in the striped robe was entranced by the rose
She sang though she'd never been one for singing before

2. She shows you the swaying of dancers when they bend
And plays the tunes of musicians when they sing

3. She came while the ground was strewn with brides
And on each branch of its flowers was a knot

4. The world had revealed its beauty
So from each flower, a lip, and from each rose, a cheek

5. The sweet air aided her, and its abundance
The freshness of spring, the blessed place

6. So she sang the song of drinking that quenched their thirst
And yearned with the yearning of love when passion appeared

7. Stirring dormant sorrow in every heart
For us the limit of love has been crossed
