My sweetheart, where are you wandering?
Oh, why don't you take me with you?
Oh, why don't you take me with you?
How I love you, oh, how much I love you!
Alas, my dear Lord!
Take me to the marketplace
Oh, then sell me to a trader!
Oh, then sell me to a trader!
How I love you, oh, how much I love you!
Alas, my dear Lord!
Take three pounds of gold for me*
(Sell me for three pounds of gold)
Oh, so gild your palace doors with it!
Oh, so gild your palace doors with it!
How I love you, oh, how much I love you!
Alas, my dear Lord!
