A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.
A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.

One day, in my heart, love's breath, my beloved's flute did play,
I ran and leapt, arms unbound, through gardens I did stray.
Oh, in the gardens, fair one, oh, from your head,
your scarlet veil took flight, oh, ah.
A rose's thorn pierced deep, my waist undone, my tender fingers bled.
Oh, Ram, alas, a nettle's strike,
death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
Alas, I am undone.

A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.
A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.
A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.
A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.
A nettle stung me, death in its kiss, oh Ram, I am undone.
This serpentine nettle, venomous foe, this nettle's sting.
