Come, oh come, my blue-eyed one
Aren't you the one with the beautiful face?
Are your kohl-lined eyes shaped like fish?
Are your intoxicating lips made of honey?
Ah, your beauty!
Moon embraced by the sky,
Rain drizzling from the clouds,
Music that sends chills through the body,
Run and dance around like a deer!
As if doing penance, your dress
longs just to touch your skin.
Lines filled with beauty
gather into a poem.
Come, oh come, my blue-eyed one
Aren't you the one with the beautiful face?
Are your kohl-lined eyes shaped like fish?
Are your intoxicating lips made of honey?
The light glowing in your eyes,
even the night's crescent moon steals it.
The words from your rosy lips
sound as sweet as honey.
Come, oh come, my blue-eyed one
Aren't you the one with the beautiful face?
Are your kohl-lined eyes shaped like fish?
