Let's go, to draw water, let's go, to draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go,
Sisters, together, let's draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go, to draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go,
Sisters, together, let's draw water.

A pot upon my head I bear, a pot upon my head I bear,
You are the queen of this water's edge, you are the queen of this water's edge,
Now upon whom, now upon whom,
Sisters, together, let's draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go, to draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go,
Sisters, together, let's draw water.

In your eyes, kohl does gleam, in your eyes, kohl does gleam,
Your hands, adorned with flowers, enchant, your hands, adorned with flowers, enchant,
Just meet my gaze, just meet my gaze,
Sisters, together, let's draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go, to draw water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go,
Sisters, together, let's draw water.

A desire has bloomed within, a desire has bloomed within,
No awareness of body or mind, no awareness of body or mind,
Fear, a moth, with me I'll burn, consumed by the water,
Let's go, to draw water, let's go,
Sisters, together, let's draw water.
