They emerge, adorned, from their dwelling,
Lost, adrift, unaware of the swelling,
Their veil, it slips from their head, compelling,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling,
They emerge, adorned, from their dwelling.
In youth's oblivion, you venture forth,
When from your home you take your path,
Upon your cheeks, of golden worth,
Adorn a beauty mark, in aftermath,
For eyes may steal the sunlit grace,
From any corner, any berth,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling.
This city, a city of stone it seems,
Where love is found, in fragmented gleams,
Your body, a mirror, reflects sunbeams,
My prayer, that it thrives, in waking dreams,
May your dreams, small buds that gleam,
Survive the sun's harsh extremes,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling.
They emerge, adorned, from their dwelling,
Lost, adrift, unaware of the swelling,
Their veil, it slips from their head, compelling,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling,
May God protect from the gaze dispelling.
