Entangled, I am entangled, Rama, ah, entangled gaze
In the market of Calcutta, lost in a maze.
Alone am I, fear takes hold, a shadowed art,
Ah, in the market of Calcutta, tearing my heart.

The cap-wearing gentleman beckons, his gestures call,
"Come hither, come hither, heed my thrall."
The cap-wearing gentleman, oh, the bearded one's plea,
The bearded one beckons, "Come, come, come to me."
Rama's oath, shy I'll not be, come or flee,
Upon you alone, their eyes are set free,
In the market of Calcutta, a hungry decree.
Entangled, I am entangled, Rama, ah, entangled gaze,
In the market of Calcutta, through these shadowed days.

Young bloom of youth, ah, young bloom, my rising tide,
Young bloom of youth, ah, young bloom, my bursting pride,
My eyes tell the story, the heart's secret tide.
My small heart trembles, ah, where can I hide,
In the market of Calcutta, where shadows reside?
Entangled, I am entangled, Rama, ah, entangled gaze,
In the market of Calcutta, in a bewildering haze.
Alone am I, fear takes hold, a shadowed art,
Ah, in the market of Calcutta, tearing my heart.
