From the East, the wind whispers, anklets chime,

Somewhere, a shehnai sings, anklets chime,

In gardens, buds, on buds, the dewdrop gleams,
Dewdrops thirst for the bee's sweet dreams.
A season of song, a season of scent,
Scent that seeks my heart, heaven-sent.
In gardens, buds, on buds, the dewdrop gleams,
Dewdrops thirst for the bee's sweet dreams.
The season blooms, bringing blooms untold, anklets chime,
The season blooms, bringing blooms untold, anklets chime.
Somewhere, a shehnai sings, anklets chime,
Somewhere, a shehnai sings, anklets chime.

On trees, on branches, a cuckoo's call,
In the cuckoo's voice, I hear my all.
In rivers, in water, the waves arise,
On waves' lips, a melody that never dies.
On trees, on branches, a cuckoo's call,
In the cuckoo's voice, I hear my all.
The heavens are veiled, the clouds softly sigh, anklets chime,
The heavens are veiled, the clouds softly sigh, anklets chime.
Somewhere, a shehnai sings, anklets chime,
From the East, the wind whispers, anklets chime.
From the East, the wind whispers, anklets chime.
Somewhere, a shehnai sings, anklets chime,
