aaha ghungharu aaha ghungharu aaha ghungharu aaha ghungharu

Why, oh why, do your anklets chime?
What secrets do your anklets keep?
Clang, clang, they ring, a joyful crime,
Whispering of love, so deep.
Chime, chime, the anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets,
Why do these anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets?
Clang, clang, they ring, a joyful crime,
Whispering of love, sublime.
Chime, chime, the anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets,
Why do these anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets?

A sweet, sweet fire of love resides,
Within my heart, it softly gleams,
The anklets' song, where truth confides,
Echoes the heart's unspoken dreams.
A sweet, sweet fire of love resides,
Within, where passion softly streams.
The anklets' song, where truth confides,
Echoes the heart's unspoken dreams.
When will I meet my love again? The anklets cry,
And warn, "Dance gently, lest the thread should break."
Chime, chime, the anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets,
Why do these anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets?
Chime, chime, the anklets sing, why, oh why, do your anklets chime?

I have bound myself to you, and blush within,
A bride, I gaze in mirrors, fading, faint.
Let fate unfold, no need to begin,
Since the world was made, the anklets paint.
Says Kabir, listen, brothers, heed,
Says Kabir, listen, brothers, pray,
Lest the thread of the anklets bleed,
Lest the music slip away.
Chime, chime, the anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets,
Why do these anklets sing, ah, anklets, ah, anklets?
Ah, anklets, ah, anklets, ah, anklets, ah, anklets.
