Dance, fair maiden, dance!
Dance, O blessed one, dance!
He who makes the dance, dances!

Our world, yours and mine,
A stage where all must play.
Dance, O blessed one, dance!
He who makes the dance, dances!

With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*
With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*

Here, there, everywhere,
The puppeteer dances all around.
Secretly, oh secretly,
He pulls the strings unseen.
To that magician, we surrender!
To that magician, we surrender!

Behold the cleverness of the wise!
He has ensnared us all.
Dance, O blessed one, we are ensnared.
He who makes the dance, dances!
He who makes the dance, dances!

With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*
With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*

The earth trembles, the heavens tremble,
The moon and stars all sway.
Beloved stars, you sway so bright.
Bride and groom, shy and demure,
But the wedding party sways with all its might.
The wedding party sways with all its might.

May no evil eye befall the couple,
Lest chaos be unleashed!
Dance, O blessed one, lest chaos be unleashed!
He who makes the dance, dances!

With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*
With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*

Let the anklets ring more brightly,
Jhanak jhanak jhanak jhanak.
Let the rhythm be sharp and bold.
Let glory come!
Let glory remain!
For the host of the celebration,
See that the dance does not falter!
See that the dance does not falter!

Oh dancers, add to your flair
A dash of spice to your grace!
Dance, O blessed one, with spice in your grace!
He who makes the dance, dances!

With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*
With a fervent beat,
*Tadgam Tadgam Tadgam*
