Beneath the veil, moon's silver gleam, lest the moon hide away,
Lest these eyes, in colors steeped, be plundered by another's sway.
I draped the shimmer of the veil,
And with a peacock's graceful trail,
I draped the shimmer of the veil,
And with a peacock's graceful trail,
Behind me, behind me, the market's whispers chase,
The heavens played this curious game,
Behind me, the market's whispers chase,
The heavens played this curious game.
Some whisper I'm a sugar cube, so sweet,
Yet none perceive my heart's rebellious beat,
Some whisper you're a sugar cube, so sweet,
Yet none perceive your heart's rebellious beat,
Some whisper I'm a sugar cube, so sweet,
Yet none perceive my heart's rebellious beat,
My name, my name, echoes through every street,
The heavens played this curious game,
Your name echoes through every street,
The heavens played this curious game.
The peacock, cuckoo, partridge call,
My every move enthralls all,
The peacock, cuckoo, partridge call,
Your every move enthralls all,
The peacock, cuckoo, partridge call,
My every move enthralls all,
Within my heart, within my heart, a tempest starts to rise,
The heavens played this curious game,
Within my heart, a tempest starts to rise,
The heavens played this curious game.
