Fly, crow, fly, crow, fly,
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.
Fly, crow, fly, crow, fly,
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.
My city, desolate without you,
My city, desolate without you,
Carry this message.
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.
Fly, crow, fly, crow, fly,
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.

Clouds gather over my city,
My eyes weep through the night,
My eyes weep through the night.
Come, my Beloved, your clouds await,
Come, my Beloved, your clouds await,
I have donned the garb of a yogini.
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.
Fly, crow, fly, crow, fly,
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.

Oh, cloud, go to my Beloved's city,
Do not burn my heart.
Do not burn my heart.
My Beloved has gone to a distant land,
My Beloved has gone to a distant land,
The season has changed its form.
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.
Fly, crow, fly, crow, fly,
Fly, crow, to my Beloved's land.
