Find my beloved

daughter of Tsumba

if you go to town

go find my beloved and tell him

That i am sick with love

 

My beloved is a young stag

whose mandrakes give forth fragrance

Tell him money cant quench love

for love is strong

neither floods can\'t drown it

 

All wealth of his house

i don\'t care about all

Tell him to make haste

Tell him to be a gazelle

 

He used to sustain me with rasins

He used to refresh me with apple

For i am sick with love

o daughter of Tsumba

Tell him love is better than wine

and I  can\'t bare to see

All maidens after him

 

o daughter of Tsumba

Tell him to burry the hatchet

I am know a changed being

dying because her lover left

Tell him to make haste
