1

00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:06,780

Come as You Are

2

00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:12,570

Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet.

3

00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:15,530

If your braided hair has loosened,

4

00:00:15,539 --> 00:00:18,040

if the parting of your hair be not straight,

5

00:00:18,049 --> 00:00:21,100

if the ribbons be not fastened, do not mind.

6

00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:25,690

Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet.

7

00:00:25,699 --> 00:00:28,870

Come, with quick steps over the grass.

8

00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:32,920

If the red come from your feet because of the dew,

9

00:00:32,929 --> 00:00:36,200

if the rings of bells upon your feet slacken,

10

00:00:36,209 --> 00:00:39,910

if pearls drop out of your chain, do not mind.

11

00:00:39,919 --> 00:00:43,640

Come, with quick steps over the grass.

12

00:00:43,649 --> 00:00:47,460

Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?

13

00:00:47,469 --> 00:00:51,730

Flocks of cranes fly up from the further riverbank.

14

00:00:51,739 --> 00:00:55,660

The anxious cattle run to their stalls in the village.

15

00:00:55,669 --> 00:00:58,840

Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?

16

00:00:58,849 --> 00:01:03,760

Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet.

17

00:01:03,769 --> 00:01:09,450

Let your work be. Listen, the guest has come.

18

00:01:09,459 --> 00:01:14,910

Do you hear, he is gently shaking the chain which fastens the door?

19

00:01:14,919 --> 00:01:19,840

See that your anklets make no loud noise,

20

00:01:19,849 --> 00:01:23,340

and that your step is not over-hurried at meeting him.

21

00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:28,040

Let your work be, the guest has come in the evening.

22

00:01:28,049 --> 00:01:31,320

It is the full moon on a night of April;

23

00:01:31,329 --> 00:01:34,280

shadows are pale in the court yard;

24

00:01:34,289 --> 00:01:36,900

the sky overhead is bright.

25

00:01:36,909 --> 00:01:41,050

Draw your veil over your face if you must,

26

00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:43,460

carry the lamp in the door if you fear.

27

00:01:43,469 --> 00:01:50,240

Have no word with him if you are shy; stand aside by the door when you meet him.

28

00:01:50,249 --> 00:01:57,570

If he asks you questions, and if you wish to, you can lower your eyes in silence.

29

00:01:57,579 --> 00:02:03,040

Do not let your bracelets jingle when, lamp in hand, you lead him in.

30

00:02:03,049 --> 00:02:05,040

Have you not finished your work yet? Listen, the guest has come.
