Danse Africaine + 

The low beating of the tom-toms, + 

The slow beating of the tom-toms, + 

Low⁠ ⁠… slow + 

Slow⁠ ⁠… low⁠— + 

Stirs your blood. + 

Dance! + 

A night-veiled girl + 

Whirls softly into a + 

Circle of light. + 

Whirls softly⁠ ⁠… slowly, + 

Like a wisp of smoke around the fire⁠— + 

And the tom-toms beat, + 

And the tom-toms beat, + 

And the low beating of the tom-toms + 

Stirs your blood. + 
