Oh, my love, drums and cymbals call,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals call,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
The black-printed skirt, it steals the day.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
The black-printed skirt, it steals the day.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
In anklets, I'll bind the moon's array.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
In anklets, I'll bind the moon's array.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals.

Your form, fair maiden, overflows,
Your form, fair maiden, overflows,
Like a pitcher, your beauty glows.
This youth's moonlight, eyes that bestow
Sunlight's warmth, for all to know.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals, ah!
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals, oh!
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
The black-printed skirt, it steals the day.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
In anklets, I'll bind the moon's array.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play.

Only then, a madwoman, I knew love's sweet sting,
Only then, a madwoman, I knew love's sweet sting,
When a handsome friend at my heart's door did swing.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
In anklets, I'll bind the moon's array.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play.

A yogi of love's city, I offer my hand,
A yogi of love's city, I offer my hand,
Wherever you lead, your jogan will stand.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals,
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
In anklets, I'll bind the moon's array.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play.

Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
The black-printed skirt, it steals the day.
Oh, my love, drums and cymbals play,
Play, they play, they play, they play.
