Khap-Salung

Seeing that I adore you,

Scarf of golden flowers,

Why do you stay unmarried?

As the liana at a tree’s foot

That quivers to wind it round,

So do I wait for you. I pray you

Do not detest me....

I have come to say farewell.

Farewell, scarf;

Garden Royal

Where none may enter,

Gaudy money

I may not spend.

Song of the Love Nights of Laos.
