Don't stare at me because I am dark, Because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard.

Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

Do not look at me, that I black, that the sun scorched me. The sons of my mother were angry with me; they appointed me keeper of the vineyards— my vineyard that mine I have not kept.
