My feet are bound; my anklets clatter...
Shut all the doors...
Look, thieves have come (to steal our hearts)!
My feet are bound.
Break all the bonds holding you back;
let your anklets clatter!
Throw open all the doors to your heart...
Look, thieves have come (to steal your hearts)!
My feet are bound.
What shall I say, what shall I do?
I'm overcome by bashfulness.
Don't torment me so; I'm dying (for you).
Prove to me that you're a true and faithful lover.
If there's doubt in your heart, then forget about it.
I won't forsake the veil of modesty so quickly!
I'll think about it and then tell you tomorrow or the day after.
If you don't speak up today either,
someone else might take away your bridal palanquin.
My feet are bound.
My feet are bound; my anklets clatter.
Shut all the doors...
Look, thieves have come (to steal our hearts)!
Break all the bonds holding you back...
let your anklets clatter!
Throw open all the doors to your heart...
Look, thieves have come (to steal your hearts)!
My feet are bound.
Those meant to meet eventually do, no matter what strange thing might happen.
Flowers of the heart blossom even in autumn.
The world calls the heart insane;
and the insane heart calls the world crazy.
Beloved, I have come, forsaking the whole world;
breaking all bonds, I have willingly donned yours.
Let us unite; let us fly away
together like a kite and string.
My feet are bound.
My feet are bound; my anklets clatter.
Shut all the doors...
Look, thieves have come (to steal our hearts)!
Break all the bonds holding you back...
let your anklets clatter!
Throw open all the doors to your heart...
Look, thieves have come (to steal your hearts)!
Shut all the doors...
Look, thieves have come (to steal our hearts)!
Yes, look, thieves have come!
Look, thieves have come!
Hey, look, thieves have come!
