Across the river, to meet my love, to meet.
No, father, no, someone will see.
We will steal away, silently, to love.
Oh, no, father, no, someone will see.
No, father, no, someone will see.
If not by the river, meet in the garden.
In the garden, meet, in the garden, oh, oh, oh.
When the night is thin, meet in the lanes.
A thousand cruel places to meet and greet.
No, father, no, someone will see.
Across the river, to meet my love, to meet.
No, father, no, someone will see.
No, father, no, someone will see.
If not in the lanes, then meet at the well.
At the well, meet, at the well, ho, ho.
If not the mother's home, then the father's door.
On the doorstep, meet.
I'll bring jasmine garlands, jasmine strings.
No, father, no, someone will see.
Across the river, to meet my love, to meet.
Oh, no, father, no, someone will see.
No, father, no, someone will see.
Each moment, to live with my love, to meet.
With my love, meet, with my love, ho, ho.
If nothing else, secretly, meet at the fair.
Secretly, meet.
If questioned, she is my bride, they will say.
No, father, no, someone will see.
Across the river, to meet my love, to meet.
Oh, no, father, no, someone will see.
No, father, no, someone will see.
