If you will bring me a glass of water
Just to quench my thirst
I promise you I will be forever grateful
And of your kindness, I will always think of first,
I will not forget this one kind feat
That you have done for me
As you did it not for money or for glory
So I thank you, for answering my plea,
As I am now a very thirsty person
My throat it seems to be on fire1
And all I need is a very cold drink
To cool my body, and quench my desire,
If you would bring be a glass of water
Your kind deed I will never forget
And I will repay your kindness with kindness
And of your thoughtfulness, I will give my respect,
So I will ask you as I will not beg
As a man would, going to his death or to a slaughter
Will you be kind and help me quench my thirst
By bringing me a cold glass of water.
