1 Asleep on my bed, night after nightI dreamed of the one I love;I was looking for him, but couldn't find him.
2 I went wandering through the city,through its streets and alleys.I looked for the one I love.I looked, but couldn't find him.
3 The sentries patrolling the city saw me.I asked them, “Have you found my lover?”
4 As soon as I left them, I found him.I held him and wouldn't let him gountil I took him to my mother's house,to the room where I was born.
