I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil,
No one am I, no one, no one am I of your beloved.
I am the basil of your courtyard.
No one am I, no one, no one am I of your beloved.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil.

Lying at the door, I yearned, today I swelled and poured forth,
Lying at the door, I yearned, today I swelled and poured forth,
Like a thirsty cloud of the monsoon.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil.

Your parting, your vermillion, all is yours, nothing mine,
Your parting, your vermillion, all is yours, nothing mine,
I swear by your tears, and mine.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil.

Why do you burn with jealousy of me?
Oh, friend, you seem to me a childhood companion.
I am the basil of your courtyard,
No one am I, no one,
No one am I of your beloved, no one am I of your beloved.
I am the basil of your courtyard.
No one am I of your beloved, no one am I of your beloved.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil.

What can I take from you? I will leave something for you,
What can I take from you? I will leave something for you,
The dust of your streets.
I am the basil of your courtyard,
No one am I of your beloved, no one am I of your beloved.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil.

Do not weep, sister, go inside, do not weep, sister, go inside,
See in the street outside, the bier of your rival.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil of your courtyard,
No one am I, no one, no one am I of your beloved.
I am the basil of your courtyard, I am the basil.
