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.
