At the height of her honor and splendor
Death comes for her
Death comes open-eyed
She had to leave everything behind, behind

As her gentle soul
Passes away, ay, ay
So far her home
Beyond the distant mountains

That in a dream
She finds and tells her parents

Your child has gone now
To the yellow spring
You must find a retreat
Before it's too late

As her gentle soul
Passes away, ay, ay
So far her home
Beyond the distant mountains

As her gentle soul
Passes away
Away, away, away, away
