Fire, fire
Language: English
Available translation(s): IRI
Fire, fire! My heart! O, I burn me! Alas! Fa la la la la. O help, alas! Ay me, I sit and cry me And call for help, but none comes nigh me. Fa la la la la. I burn, alas! Ay me, will none come quench me? O cast water on and drench me! Fa la la la la.
