She walks the narrow streets at dawn
A shadow trailing yonder gone
Yally yally yallangsung
Heartbroken hush of her sad song
Silk kimono bright and free
Whisper tales of what could be
Yalari yala endlessly
Dreams that float just like the sea
Yally yally yallangsung
Echoed cries to skies belong
Yalari yala ancient tune
Her tale sung beneath the moon
Streetlights flicker as they sway
Memories of a brighter day
Yally yally yallangsung
Songs of love that went astray
Softly she will call your name
Yalari yala like a flame
In the wind they sound the same
Lost in shadows cast by shame
Tears like rain will mark the ground
Every step an echoed sound
Yally yally yallangsung
Lonely as she makes her round
A shadow trailing yonder gone
Yally yally yallangsung
Heartbroken hush of her sad song
Silk kimono bright and free
Whisper tales of what could be
Yalari yala endlessly
Dreams that float just like the sea
Yally yally yallangsung
Echoed cries to skies belong
Yalari yala ancient tune
Her tale sung beneath the moon
Streetlights flicker as they sway
Memories of a brighter day
Yally yally yallangsung
Songs of love that went astray
Softly she will call your name
Yalari yala like a flame
In the wind they sound the same
Lost in shadows cast by shame
Tears like rain will mark the ground
Every step an echoed sound
Yally yally yallangsung
Lonely as she makes her round
