Drum now, drum, drum now, drum,
I beat the madal, lost in the sway,
The world begins to dance.
Drum now, drum, drum now, drum,
As anklets bind my feet in grace,
The world begins to dance.
Drum now, drum, drum now, drum.

Queen of the anklets, you,
While I am king of the madal's heart,
You boast of your own allure,
Come, now, and face my art.
Ah, come, and spread, and stay, oh, linger,
My words too, are a dance and sway,
The world begins to dance.
Drum now, drum, drum now, drum.

Leaving the clouds, lightning descends,
To meet my rhythm's embrace,
Leaving the clouds, lightning descends,
To meet my rhythm's embrace.
Hearing my "chham chham" sound,
Hearts forget to beat their place.
Oh, what of hearts?
Why brush my veil?
My veil, it ripples, stirs the sway,
The world begins to dance.
Drum now, drum, drum now, drum.

Your gait learns from my rhythm,
To mimic my intoxicating style,
Your gait learns from my rhythm,
To mimic my intoxicating style.
Not just you, fair one, even the wind,
Seems to move as if drunk for a while.
Oh, Ram, what now?
Ah, ah, the season, ah!
The wind now sings, the clouds now sway,
The world begins to dance.
Drum now, drum, drum now, drum,
I beat the madal, lost in the sway,
As anklets bind my feet in grace,
The world begins to dance.
Drum now, drum, drum now, drum.
