Ah, [thou] girl, [thou] tressed girl, Ah, [thou] tressed girl, Girl sweeter than sugar! Tasseled and fringed, ah, [thou] tressed girl, Petite and dainty, ah, [thou] sweet girl! Thy brows have stolen away my wits, Ah, stolen away my wits, Thy dark eyes [are like] a sea, [O] girl! Tasseled and fringed, ah, [thou] tressed girl, Petite and dainty, ah, [thou] sweet girl! Thou hast bound [about thee] a Kirman girdle, Ah, a Kirman girdle, Thou sufferest no man [to come] near thee; Thou art fair of form, with sweet taste and scent, Ah, with sweet taste and scent, Comelier than a flower! Hold thy head high, Ah, hold [it] high, May the fair-haired youth die for thee! Though they give unto me the entire world, Ah, the entire world, I shall take no other [to wife]!
