There he walks my friend Abdullah,
Through the Kashba of Mekka.

Searching for his love Maria,
Lost her near the Ka'aba.

There he saw a little old lady
Told him that's she saw Maria
Walking through the streets of Mekka
In the Harem of the Maharadjah

In the great big Dome in Mekka
Cries Maria for her love

And she’s praying to the great Allah
Bring me back to my sweet love

Then there comes a Maharadjah
You're my favourite, that's what he said
That's too much for the poor Maria
In the moment, later she's dead

There he lies my friend Abdullah,
In the Kashba of Mekka.

Dying for his love Maria
Lost her near the Ka'aba

Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh…
