1. Oh, you the one who cries
How much do you sing at dawn in the breeze

2. I find you complaining deeply and crying
For a lost one, big or small

3. So fall upon the door of cemeteries and see
The lament of women at graves

4. Women in mourning crying
Like crows crying in the wilderness

5. Calling to their loved ones within rocks
And how can one under rocks respond

6. He tosses restless like Layla
And they shed tears over their breasts

7. The eyes of a people denied by dreams of joy
Saw Layla walking on a bier

8. I will cry what the crying one my daughter cried
With a sea of my tears nay oceans

9. Am I not more deserving to cry over her
If birds cry over birds
