She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon

In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two

O Bandit Queen, steal away to me

Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain

Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure

And sitting up, she adjusts her turban

And listening to the whistling of the train in station
Odds are it will never reach its destination
