Like the Ganges, a river of love's own tide,
Drums resound, drums resound, a thunderous beat,
The maiden dances, dances, oh, she dances,
A vibrant splash with every nimble foot.
This heart, this heart, like a shawl, slips away,
This heart, this heart, like a shawl, slips away,
The more I try to erase love's kohl, it spreads, it spreads.
Drums resound, drums resound, a thunderous beat,
The maiden dances, oh, she dances,
A vibrant splash with every nimble foot.

Mother Ganges, Mother Ganges, You know this truth,
How my eyes' boat is tossed and turns,
Mother Ganges, Mother Ganges, Ganges, oh, Mother Ganges.
You know this truth, how my eyes' boat is tossed and turns,
In the water of my eyes, a river of life resides,
This is the hue of existence.
This heart, this heart, like a shawl,
slips away,
The more I try to erase love's kohl,
it spreads, it spreads.
Drums resound, drums resound, a thunderous beat,
The maiden dances, oh, she dances,
A vibrant splash with every nimble foot.
Like the Ganges, a river of love's own tide.

In love's villages, in the shade of joy,
make your home,
Become a firefly, shine so brightly that darkness is ashamed.
In love's villages, in the shade of joy,
make your home,
Become a firefly, shine so brightly that darkness is ashamed.
These are stormy words, yes, youth dwells within them.
This is the hue of existence.
This heart, this heart, like a shawl,
slips away,
The more I try to erase love's kohl,
it spreads, it spreads.
Drums resound, drums resound, a vibrant splash with every nimble foot,
Drums resound, drums resound, a thunderous beat.
