Original lyrics
دختر مشرقی
دختر مشرقیم، دختر آفتاب
رنگم از پوست بزک کرده ی مهتاب
زلفم از رنگ سیاه شب یلدا
چشام از روشنی روزن شبها
همه حرفام مهربونی
با نجابت یار جونی
سر سپردهء محبت
با نگاهی آسمونی
دختر مشرقیم من
دختر مشرقیم من
خونم از رنگ زلال سرخ عشق
گریه هام چشمهء پاک و بی ریا
منم اون تنهاترین دختر شهر
که داره میشکنه اما بی صدا
دختر مشرقیم من
دختر مشرقیم من
صدام از شرشر آب چشمه ها
تشنه ام تشنه ترین تشنه ها
تشنهء مرد سواری که بیاد
قصهء هزار و یک شب رو بخواد
تا براش از دیو قصه ها بگم
زخم تن وحشت سایه ها بگم
تا براش از دیو قصه ها بگم
زخم تن وحشت سایه ها بگم
[تکرار قطعههای اول تا سوم]
[تکرار قطعهٔ سوم تا پایان ترانه]

Translation
The Oriental Girl
I'm the oriental girl, the princess of the sun
My makeup, artwork of the moonlight
My tresses, the darkest of the nights1
My eyes, a bright breaching of the night
My words, tales of love
My chest, a temple of grace
A devotee of love
with heavenly eyes
I'm the oriental girl
(x2)
My blood, pure love crimson
My tears, a clear, pure rain2
The loneliest girl in the town
Dying inside with sealed lips
I'm the oriental girl
(x2)
My voice, singing of spring fountains
My thirst, an unquenchable love thirst
Longing for a prince in shining armor
Asking me to be his Shahrazad3
I'll tell him of the fables' demons
Of bodily hurts, of shadow horrors
(x2)
