Translation

Coloured is my spinning wheel, red dyed

If big the spinning wheel, big its uprights
He said in twelve periods we’d reunite
Because of the lord, se the weeping eye’s plight
Crying so, my self mortified

Coloured is my spinining wheel, red dyed

If big the spinning wheel, big its revolution
To have heads braided, all came of their own volition
No one came joys, sorrows to apportion
No one walks alongside

Coloured is my spinning wheel, red dyed

The calf munched the cotton stock
Quarrels with all, in the countryard runs amok
What mischief in the courtyard did I unlock?
I’m the obsession of everyone’s broadside

Coloured is my spinning wheel, red dyed

If big the spinning wheel, big the basket
On my head parents put the casket
Says Husayn the Lord’s devotee
Every moment with the Name abide

Coloured is my spinning wheel, red dyed
