Original lyrics:
Flowers blossoming on the cliff
Are the earliest to fade;
The girl married in a far-off place
Languishes in her lover’s arms.
Flowers blossoming in the desert
Are the earliest to fade;
The girl is married now
And by her promise will abide.
Once there were oaths to love,
Once there were sweet dates,
Once there was a warm embrace,
But now you are married in a far-off place.
