I know, I know, why does your bangle chime?
I know, I know, why does your bangle chime?
I too know, who came secretly to your courtyard,
Oh, I know, who came secretly to your courtyard?
I too know.

Beneath the peepal's shade, whispering words,
Beneath the peepal's shade...
Beneath the peepal's shade, whispering words,
Took flight, carrying away a naive heart,
My friend, I know, why does your earring sway?
My friend, I know, why does your earring sway?
I too know, who came secretly to your courtyard,
I know, I know, why does your bangle chime?
I too know, who came secretly to your courtyard.

Twisting your arms, embracing, and tumbling you down,
Twisting your arms...
Twisting your arms, embracing, and tumbling you down,
He sat, the rogue, settling into your heart,
My fair one, I know, where did your bindi fall?
My fair one, I know, where did your bindi fall?
I know, I know, why does your bangle chime?
I too know, who came secretly to your courtyard,
I know, I know, why does your bangle chime?

You tell no one, and I will not speak,
I will not speak...
Fine, then become theirs,
I will be his, I will be his,
I will be his, I will be his.
