She's weaving something day and night
A magic web with happy and bright colors
There's a curse on her that doesn't allow her to go see Camelot through the window
She doesn't know what the curse is so she just sits and weaves steadily day and night
Since she can't turn back and look at Camelot, she has a mirror and she looks at the reflection of Camelot through the mirror

زیر درختای بید یه قایقی بسته شده بود این خانومی رفت سوارش شد و روش نوشت the lady of Shalott
رفت کف قایق خوابید و طنابا رو باز کرد و قایق با باد به حرکت دراومد
She was dressed in white

They were partying and suddenly saw the lady and went silent
But Sir Lancelot اومد گفت چه خوشگله خدا رحمتش کنه
