The cymbals chime, *chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha*, the cymbals chime.
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha*

To laugh is sin, to bear sorrow is sin, to speak is sin.
To remain silent is sin, oh, what a world, alas, and well!
The cymbals chime, *chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha*, oh, the cymbals chime.
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha*

The world's inverted, all is turned around,
A son named Dashrath, the father, Ram is found.
Today's Sita, in the courtroom, friend,
Today's Sita, in the courtroom, weds Ram instead.
Oh, what a world, alas, and well!
The cymbals chime, *chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha*, the cymbals chime.
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha*

The body unveiled, the mind unveiled, the face unveiled,
How free is youth, now,
Breaking the veil of shame.
The goddess of modesty, see, oh friend,
The goddess of modesty, see,
Seeks refuge now.
Oh, what a world, alas, and well!
The cymbals chime, *chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha*, oh, the cymbals chime.
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha*

Imagine, I become a dacoit, a thief, a plunderer,
I fill the bellies of the hungry,
Taking your wealth.
Yet in the eyes of the world, friend,
Yet in the eyes of the world,
I have committed sin.
Oh, what a world, alas, and well!
The cymbals chime, *chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha*, oh, the cymbals chime.
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha*

To laugh is sin, to bear sorrow is sin,
to speak is sin.
To remain silent is sin,
oh, what a world, alas, and well!
The cymbals chime, *chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha*, oh, the cymbals chime.
*Chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha, chun chun cha*
