For my Beloved, I am adorned,
For love, O drummer, O drummer, O drummer,
O drummer, play the drum for my Beloved,
O drummer, play the drum for my Beloved,
For my Beloved, I am adorned, for love,
Brother, brother, oh brother, brother, oh brother.

When the drum beats, I shall dance with joy,
When the drum beats, I shall dance with joy, O,
Drummer, your drum resounds,
Ta ta thai, the drum resounds,
Drummer, your drum resounds,
Ta ta thai, the drum resounds.
See, see, my anklets sing, my eyes sway,
O fair one, the nose ring and anklets chime, jhanan jhanan jhanan,
When the drum beats, when the drum beats,
I shall dance with joy.

Oh, with eyes drunk on desire, who plays the flute?
A tiny soul, who rocks the cradle?
O, drummer, your drum speaks, brother, brother, oh,
Hoy hoy speaks, it speaks, brother, brother, oh,
When the drum beats, I shall dance with joy,
When the drum beats, I shall dance with joy,
Oh, moon and stars will dance with you,
Drummer, oh, oh, oh.

The procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
A lightning bolt in my limbs sways,
See, see, my blouse is drenched,
Oh, the procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
Listen, O sparrow,
See, see, the people are speaking,
To the drum, in Brj, Brjbang, singing along,
Dhin dhak dhin dhak,
The drum is such, it opens you,
Inside, the hidden secrets play free,
Bhirbhang bhirbhang bom,
Bhirbhang bhirbhang bom,
Swirling, the weapons of the soul play, O king,
Dhivt dhivt dhivt the drum plays,
Tik tik tik, keep watch the drum,
Spinning with the tik, weaving a dancer,
O ji ri, twirling on the beat, a dancer,
The procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
Oh, the procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
The procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, the procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
Oh, the procession of flowers arrives,
Oh, my body’s time speaks,
The procession of flowers arrives.
