With a figure sculpted like polished marble,
with arms as glowing as pure gold,
and two fresh blossoms for her eyes...
Female: did she steal your heart away?
Who, who, who is she?
Female: Don't you even know her name or her town?
Is she a precious cluster of pearls and gems?
Is her dark hair a picture painted from the clouds?
Is she a precious cluster of pearls and gems?
Is her dark hair a picture painted from the clouds?
With her glowing crimson lips,
is the smile she sheds a magical spell?
With her glowing crimson lips,
is the smile she sheds a magical spell?
Who, who, who is she?
Female: Don't you even know her name or her town?
She became the very sight that captivates the eyes,
a woman admired even by other women,
she became the very sight that captivates the eyes,
a woman admired even by other women,
she became the essence that fills every thought,
she became the gentle darkness embraced by moonlight,

she became the gentle darkness embraced by moonlight!
Who, who, who is she?
Female: Don't you even know her name or her town?
She wore kohl in her eyes and put on her jewels,
she carried modesty, shyness, and sweet innocence,
she wore kohl in her eyes and put on her jewels,
she carried modesty, shyness, and sweet innocence,
she adorned herself with turmeric, kumkum, and flowers,
so why did she take away my heart too?
