A chamber atop a chamber, a train I shall run,
A chamber atop a chamber.
Through cities and villages, through every town,
Through cities and villages,
A whirlwind I'll spin.
I am a flame of beauty, yes, I am,
A flame of beauty,
Burning the hearts of those who yearn.
A chamber atop a chamber,
a train I shall run, a chamber atop a chamber.

Come, my beloved, quickly, buy your ticket,
Come, my beloved,
Oh, come, my beloved,
Quickly, buy your ticket.
From Bombay to Delhi, Patna's embrace,
From Bombay to Delhi, Patna's embrace,
A London tour I shall provide.
A chamber atop a chamber,
a train I shall run, a chamber atop a chamber.

If any, beholding my youthful bloom,
Should accost me on the way,
If any, beholding my youthful bloom,
If any, beholding my youthful bloom,
Should accost me on the way,
To the constable, I'll report, yes, to the constable,
And imprison him, I shall.
A chamber atop a chamber,
a train I shall run, a chamber atop a chamber.

If my beloved should implore,
To hold me in his arms,
If my beloved should implore,
If my beloved should implore,
To hold me in his arms,
Upon the bed, I'll lay,
Upon the bed, I'll lay, with flowers,
A floral bed I'll arrange.
A chamber atop a chamber,
a train I shall run, a chamber atop a chamber.
Through cities and villages,
A whirlwind I'll spin.
Through cities and villages,
Through cities and villages,
A whirlwind I'll spin.
I am a flame of beauty, yes, I am,
A flame of beauty,
Burning the hearts of those who yearn.
A chamber atop a chamber,
a train I shall run, a chamber atop a chamber.
