Intro: G C G
G
With a glass inlaid with gemstones
G
On a pool around the evening

Among the perfumed roses
G
Wait for her
G
With the patience of a packhorse
G
Loaded for the mountains
C
Like a stoic, noble prince
G
Wait for her
G
With seven pillows laid out on the stair

The scent of womens' incense fills the air

Be calm, and wait for her

And do not flush the sparrows

That are nesting in her braids

All along the barricades

And if she comes soon

Let her be still

As a summer afternoon
C | G |
A garden in full bloom
G
Let her breathe in the air

That is foreign to her heart
C
Let her lips part
G
Wait for her
G
Take her to the balcony
G
See the moon soaked in milk

Hear the rustle of her silk

Wait for her

Don't let your eyes alight upon

The twin doves of her breast

Lest they take flight

To a fearful violin

Breathe out, breathe in

And as the echo fades
G
From that final fusillade

Remember the promises you made
