the bride by laurence hope - ghizela rowe lyrics

beat on the tom*toms, and scatter the flowers
jasmin, hibiscus, vermillion and white
this is the day, and the hour of hours
bring forth the bride for her lover’s delight
maidens no more, as a maiden shall claim her
near, in his mystery, draweth desire
who, if she waver a moment, shall blame her?
she is a flower, and love is a fire
choti tinchaurya syani hogayi!

give her the anklets, the rings and the necklace
darken her еyelids with delicate art
hеighten the beauty, so youthful and fleckless
by the gods favoured, oh, bridegroom thou art!
twine in thy fingers her fingers so slender
circle together the mystical fire
bridegroom,**a whisper**be gentle and tender
choti tinchaurya knows not desire
abhi tinchaurya syani hogayi!

bring forth the silks and the veil that shall cover
beauty, till yesterday, careless and wild
red are her lips for the kiss of a lover
ripe are her br**sts for the lips of a child
centre and shrine of mysterious power
chalice of pleasure and rose of delight
shyly aware of the swift*coming hour
waiting the shade and the silence of night
choti tinchaurya syani hogayi!
still must the bridegroom his longing dissemble
longing to loosen the silk*woven cord
ah, how his fingers will flutter and tremble
fingers well sk!lled with the bridle and sword
thine is his valor oh, bride, and his beauty
thine to possess and re*issue again
such is thy tender and passionate duty
licit thy pleasure and honoured thy pain
choti tinchaurya syani hogayi!

choti tinchaurya, lovely and tender
still all unbroken to sorrow and strife
come to the bridegroom who, silk*clad and slender
brings thee the honour and burden of life
bidding farewell to thy light*hearted playtime
worship thy lover with fear and delight
art thou not ever, though slave of his daytime
choti tinchaurya, queen of his night?
choti tinchaurya syani hogayi!
