Since I first saw you, o' gazelle of my soul,
Since I first saw you, o' gazelle of my soul,
A lotus blooms, in this heart, made whole.
Since I first saw you, o' gazelle of my soul.
When your playful gaze met mine, at last,
When your playful gaze met mine, at last,
In the deep shade of your lashes cast,
I have often seen a Taj Mahal amassed.
Since I first saw you, o' gazelle of my soul.
The blush of budding blooms, within your grace,
The blush of budding blooms, within your grace,
And the cascade of springs, in your voice's embrace,
And the cascade of springs, in your voice's embrace,
In your glories, a springtime's cloud I trace.
Since I first saw you, o' gazelle of my soul.
You are the spirit of all hues, joy of the grove,
Sometimes laughter on your lips, a frown above,
Sometimes laughter on your lips, a frown above,
In your flowing tresses, a wave I love.
Since I first saw you, o' gazelle of my soul.
