Your face, your face, 
Obscured by a mask;
Your face, Your face,
Tied off with woolen cloth;
Your face, your face,
Distorted by charcoal smudge;
Your face, your face,
Marred by heart's desires.
Your hair, your hair...
It's all that I can see,
True love, true love,
They tell me it is you,
True love, true love,
Let me see your face.
