From one well to another we were bound,
From well to well, our echoes resounded.
Joining, hearing, we touched, we played,
Ringing, growing, a grand parade.

Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat,
Dhum chik dhum chik, a dancing feat.
What's the matter, friend, our hearts' retreat?
Say you love, and the world will greet.

When shadows fall, and Saturn weeps,
When troubles rise, and sorrow creeps,
Close your eyes, and in your mind,
Laugh, and this you'll surely find:

Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

A puffed-up face, a furrowed brow,
As anger flares, and burns somehow,
Quench your thirst, and then proclaim,
Drink and say, without a name:

Tara ra ra ra ra tara ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra tara ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra tara ra ra ra ra ra

Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat,
Dhum chik dhum chik, a dancing feat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.

Before man was, a monkey's form,
A monkey's life, weathering the storm.
Dum dum mast kalandar he was then.
A monkey was he, among the men.
Four legs he walked upon the earth,
A tail he had since his birth.
Dhum chik dhum chik, with all his might,
Dhum chik dhum chik, day and night.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
Before man was, a monkey's form,
Dum dum mast kalandar, in the storm.
A monkey was he, among the men,
Four legs he walked upon the earth,
A tail he had since his birth.
Kee kee, breaking the kohl’s hold,
He did something, brave and bold.
Think, think, think, just a little while,
How did the monkey become man, the while?
Oh, the monkey became man in this way,
Oh, the monkey became man in this way,
He stopped puffing out his face,
He stopped hiding his tail,
He stopped scratching his head,
And ta ta thaiya

Ta thaiya, ta thaiya, he said with glee,
One day, friends, in a fit of glee,
The monkey, he too, did then decree,
Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra tara ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

Needles of wisdom pierce the ear,
The heart's beat changes and you fear,
Life departs, to its mother's door,
Laughing, it says, and asks for more:

Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

From one well to another we were bound,
From well to well, our echoes resounded.
Joining, hearing, we touched, we played,
Ringing, growing, a grand parade.

Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat,
Dhum chik dhum chik, a dancing feat.
What's the matter, friend, our hearts' retreat?
Say you love, and the world will greet.

When shadows fall, and Saturn weeps,
When troubles rise, and sorrow creeps,
Close your eyes, and in your mind,
Laugh, and this you'll surely find:

Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
Tara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat,
Dhum chik dhum chik, a dancing feat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
Dhum chik dhum chik, the rhythm's beat.
