"What have you done, sultan, to my happy girl?

I gave her a royal palace, a throne of precious stones
Shoes embroidered in gold, emeralds and rubies
Amethyst for her fingers, dresses of diamonds
Slaves to serve her, a place in my canopy
And I called her queen, and I called her queen"

"What have you done, sultan, to my happy girl?
She only wanted the countryside, to pick wildflowers
She only wanted a glass mirror to admire herself
She only wanted the sun's warmth to live well
She only wanted the silver moonlight to rest
She only wanted the love of men to love well
She only wanted the love of men to love well"

"At the royal ball, I took your happy girl
Dressed in royalty, she conversed with princesses
Practiced with doctors, danced the lively dance
Drank the most expensive wine, bit into foreign fruit
Entered the king's arms, the truest queen
Entered the king's arms, the truest queen"
