Drums awaken, night adorns, oboes resound,
And the bride's veil dances, breezes surround.
Oh, oboes resound,
Oh, breezes surround.
Drums awaken, night adorns, oboes resound,
And the bride's veil dances, breezes surround.
Oh, oboes resound,
Oh, breezes surround.
Drums awaken, night adorns.

Eyes entwine, whispers of love ignite,
Whispers of love ignite.
This heart, a captive, knows the beloved's might,
The beloved's might.
Oh, yawns of passion arise,
Oh, oboes resound.
Drums awaken, night adorns.

From heart to heart, a bond we embrace, in the dance we sway,
In the dance we sway.
Days of joy arrive, we'll dance and play,
We'll dance and play.
Oh, laughter fills the courtyard,
Oh, loneliness fades away.
Drums awaken, night adorns, oboes resound,
Oh, oboes resound.
And the bride's veil dances, breezes surround.
Breezes surround.
Drums awaken, night adorns, oboes resound,
Oboes resound.
