iski topi uske sar uski topi iske sar
iski topi uske sar uski topi iske sar

My cap, oh, halt, be still, then turn and face,
His cap upon her head, her cap in that space.
His cap upon her head, her cap in that place,
Thus spins the wheel of all the world's embrace.
His cap upon her head, her cap in that space,
Thus spins the wheel of all the world's face.
Understand, Mister, his cap, her space.

Salute the cap, yes, yes, to the throne, a slave,
Whose head bears the cap, whose name, they crave.
The capless crowd, to the capped, they wave,
His cap upon her head, her cap, a grave.

When the new chief of law arrives in might,
His wrath to us, a love, a shining light.
Wrath turned to love, and trust takes flight,
Who dares to battle, in endless night?
His cap upon her head, her cap, the fight.

Of wood, we wield a blade, a paper bloom,
Fools they are not, we weave their doom.
Magic they call it, that fills the room,
His cap upon her head, her cap, the tomb.

Thus spins the wheel, in its endless flight,
Understand, Mister, in day and night,
His cap upon her head, her cap, the plight.
His cap upon her head, her cap, the fight.
His cap upon her head, her cap, the light.
