“Come” is a musical adaptation of a poem by 13th-century poet Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi. Here is one English translation of the poem (which Rumi originally composed in Persian):
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
It doesn't matter
Ours is not a caravan of despair
Come, even if you have broken your...
[Verse 1]
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
[Refrain]
'Cause it doesn’t matter
If you’ve broken your vows
A thousand times before
And yet again
Come again, come
And yet again, come
[Verse 2]
Come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
[Refrain]
'Cause it doesn’t matter
If you’ve broken your vows
A thousand times before
And yet again
Come again, come
And yet again, come
[Chorus]
Come again, come
Come again, come
Come again, come
Come again, come
[Bridge]
[Refrain]
It doesn’t matter
If you’ve broken your vows
A thousand times before
And yet again
Come again, come
And yet again, come
[Verse 3]
Come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
[Refrain]
'Cause it doesn’t matter
If you’ve broken your vows
A thousand times before
And yet again
Come again, come
And yet again, come
[Chorus]
Come again, come
Come again, come
Come again, come
Come again, come
Come again, come
(Come again, come)
Come again, come
(Come again, come)
Come again, come
(Come again, come)
Come again, come
[Verse 4]
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving
And come, come, whoever you are
This isn’t a caravan of despair
[Refrain]
'Cause it doesn’t matter
If you’ve broken your vows
A thousand times before
And yet again
Come again, come
And yet again, come
