My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows.
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
Release my shawl, let it be,
Do not seek the ring from me.
All the town now watches, hear the call,
I will not lift my veil at all.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
Why follow me to the waterside,
Why aim your gaze where secrets hide?
Do not try your clever games,
Or you'll hear my fiery flames.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
A cunning rogue, my love's embrace,
See, he wears a veiled lace.
He smiled and laughed, with a joyful sound,
Then swiftly, my hand he bound.
Then, with a whirl, he made me spin,
In a frenzy, where we begin,
He dropped a clove, there on the ground.
My body trembled, my mind unbound.
You danced and danced, until out of breath,
He held me close, to conquer death,
And then, within himself, I found.
Oh, why your eyes meet mine with fire?
Do not tease me, do not desire.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows.
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
My saffron guise,
My dancing feet,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
