“Fair goes the dancing when the sitar's tuned;
Tune us the sitar neither low nor high,
And we will dance away the hearts of men.
Tune us the sitar neither low nor high,
And we will dance away the hearts of men.
The string o'erstretched breaks, and the music flies;
The string o'erslack is dumb, and music dies;
Tune us the sitar neither low nor high.”
The string o'erslack is dumb, and music dies;
Tune us the sitar neither low nor high.”
