A bride I become, for him, my love takes hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
A bride I become, for him, my love takes hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
My heart denies, my love at his door to hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.

With vermilion, my parting I trace,
With henna I adorn, sixteen graces I embrace,
With vermilion, my parting I trace,
A mark of bliss upon my brow I place,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
A bride I become, for him, my love takes hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.

A distant journey, no companion near,
A lonely bride, no wedding party here.
A distant journey, no companion near,
A lonely bride, no wedding party here.
Fear now rises, my destination unclear,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
A bride I become, for him, my love takes hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.

Let the joyous anthems now resound,
Let the joyous anthems now resound,
Let songs of union forever abound,
Let the joyous anthems now resound,
Let songs of union forever abound,
My palanquin to my husband's home is bound,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
A bride I become, for him, my love takes hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
A bride I become, for him, my love takes hold,
My heart in my maiden home feels cold.
