1. With turned-back toes and forward-facing heels
To the water she lowers her wonderful bucket.

2. She waters the meadow and saturates its soil
As that one drinks to quench a burning thirst.

3. Her cheeks are furrowed but smooth, no stubble grows
In her delicate eyebrows, from kohl blackened.

4. She calls the tomcat of short steps, he has not
Before his throat feathers nor fluff.

5. She calls the tomcat, by him she's called, as she claims descent -
Oh, her sincerity when calling him, as kin she claims!
