Evaïd.O, O, O, O,
Hide me from them, hide me from them,
Hide me from their hateful eyes.
Melfort.See the dagger, silver bright.
Glitter in the starlight white.
Evaïd.No, no, no, no;
Drop the dagger, drop the steel.
Melfort.See the dagger, clean and bright.
Gleaming in the starlight white.
Chorus.Hinkutty, honkutty, hinkutty han,
