Come place your head upon my breast
And rest your heart in mine
I comb your hair with sandalwood
And bathe your eyes with wine

The days of love are here and now
The nights they are impassing
Come my Lord to Paradise
Sing Leila-Lei-Leila
Sing Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya

I’ll dress your brow with diamonds bright
And fill your cup with milk
I’ll loose your belt of discontent
And bind your wounds with silk
The Slave of Love she has no fear
Her art is understanding
Come my Lord to victory sing Leila-lei-Leila
Oh Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya

I’ll place my crown of crystal lace
Upon your burning head
I’ll touch your tears with pearls of love
Oh take my heart to wear
The veils of love are manifold
They turn the hearts unbinding
Come my Lord to Liberty
Sing Leila-lei-Leila
Oh Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya

Take my gown of golden strength
Wear my robe of blue
Take my veil of quiet love
Oh, take my damask too
The backs of men are ruled with shame
till they remember Leila
Come my Lord the heavens suit
Sing Leila-lei-Leila
Oh, Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya

Come my lord and dine with me
Two tables fine and fair
I'll fill your bowl with fruits of love
Oh, take the midnight air
The days of men are leaned with pain
till they remember Leila
Come my Lord and sit with me
Sing Leila-lei-Leila
Oh, Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya

Come dance my Lord until the dawn
The night is fleeting by
I'll play my tamborine of love
Come catch my wandering eye
The hearts of men are grey with age
till they remember Leila
Come my Lord and live again
Sing Leila-lei-Leila
Oh, Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya

Come my dear where roses bloom
To loves eternal bow
Come my dear to lily sweep
To lights, enchanted hour
Oh, take my heart, my garden bright
Beneath where waters flow
Come to lops Eternal Spring

Leila, oh Leila
Oh, Leila-lei-Leila

Kodaya, Kodaya, Kodaya
