I say not, fickle lover,
Though the world proclaims it so.
I say not, fickle lover,
Though the world proclaims it so.
Scandal, shame, and tangled woes,
A churning unease within me grows.

O dark-skinned one, your madwoman,
How can she find solace without you?

How can she find solace without you?
Like a river of tears flowing,
Like a river of tears flowing,
From my eyes, a river streams.

I say not, fickle lover,
Though the world proclaims it so.
Scandal, shame, and tangled woes,

Each moment, I await your path,
Each moment, I await your path,
O wanderer, return home.

O wanderer, return home.
The sorrow of separation, this emptiness,

Your love-lorn one endures.

I say not, fickle lover,
Though the world proclaims it so.
Scandal, shame, and tangled woes,
A churning unease within me grows.
Even our lighthearted jesting,
Even our lighthearted jesting,
Sparks gossip amongst the crowd.

Sparks gossip amongst the crowd.
Your beloved is lost in longing,
Your beloved is lost in longing,
Always dwelling in your embrace.

Always dwelling in your embrace.

Though the world proclaims it so.
Scandal, shame, and tangled woes,
A churning unease within me grows.
