This is my dove, my sweet dove
This is my dove, my life, I’ve died for her (dying to have her)
This is my dove, my sweet little dove
This is my dove, my life, I’ve died for her (dying to have her)
I saw her standing by the spring
I approached her, very thirsty
“Tell me your name, oh Assyrian (girl)”
She bowed her head and said, “I am Younia”

My dove, tell me, what are you?
Like the sun, you are rising (shining), every day upon my face
My dove, tell me, what are you?
Like the sun, you are rising (shining), every day upon my face
One look and one glance in my eyes
You let me know swiftly, of your love for me
One look and one glance in my eyes
You let me know swiftly, of your love for me
