O Myna, O Myna, the ecstatic Myna,
O Myna, O Myna, the ecstatic Myna,
O Queen of the Cage, O Queen of the Cage,
Yours is a tale, a unique stage,
Yours is a tale, a unique stage, O Myna, the ecstatic Myna.
Father you counselled, Father you counselled,
And on your beloved, youth now swelled,
Your body yearns, your body yearns,
My beloved startled, heart now burned, my beloved yearned,
My beloved startled, heart now burned, my beloved came,
Beside the river, thirsty you sit, eyes filled with rain,
Beside the river, thirsty you sit, eyes filled with rain,
O hear me, mad one, your memory, the tale sustains,
O hear me, mad one, your memory, the tale sustains,
O Myna, O Myna, the ecstatic Myna.
These glances, these sights, these scenes,
Beckon me with silent means,
My eyes are trembling, my eyes are trembling,
My eyes are trembling, my eyes are trembling,
Each moment passing, years convene,
The lifetime’s season, the lifetime’s season,
O Queen of the Cage, yours is a tale, a unique scene,
O Queen of the Cage, yours is a tale, a unique scene.
