I cry as soon as you’re in my sights
Facing my fears is my largest fright
I face you great big black and gold beauty
Nothing about you is so gory
I have reached my goal oh glory
Resemblance of my religion in front of me
The resemblance of Islam…Oh my dignity
My lord looking down at me
I look at the ground shamefully
Your beautiful house with golden rims
The black cloth falls around you gracefully
Verses from the Quran written on you
I try to read them peacefully
But great big black and gold beauty
I stare at you with awe
My mouth hanging open
Everyone saw
Great big black and gold beauty
You deserve all my respect and dignity
