Shake... the little tambourine
[Goyangkan... tamborin kecil itu]

Shake a-ring a jing -jing a-ling
[Goyangkan, bunyikan jing-jing a-ling]

Shake, shake my little dancin' queen
[Goyangkan, goyangkan ratu dansiku]

Shake that tambourine, that tambourine
[Goyangkan tamborin itu, tamborin itu]

I can hear them dancing, in the marketplace
[Aku bisa mendengar mereka menari, di pasar]

Swishin' and a-swirlin', in their' silks and lace
[Bergoyang dan berputar, dalam sutra dan renda mereka]

Bracelets keep a-clinking, on their' tiny feet
[Gelang mereka berbunyi, di kaki kecil mereka]

And with their tambourines they keep the beat
[Dan dengan tamborin mereka, mereka menjaga iramanya]

Rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
[Cincin di jari mereka, lonceng di jari kaki mereka]

They make music, wherever they go
[Mereka menciptakan musik, kemanapun mereka pergi]

Pound that little drum now, tap on it with your thumb
[Ketuk drum kecil itu sekarang, ketuk dengan ibu jari mu]

Shake, shake the little tambourine
[Goyangkan, goyangkan tamborin kecil itu]

Shake a-ring a-jing-a-ling-a-ling
[Goyangkan, bunyikan jing-jing a-ling-a-ling]

Shake, shake my little dancin' queen
[Goyangkan, goyangkan ratu dansiku]

That tambourine, that tambourine
[Tamborin itu, tamborin itu]

I heard their talent, open palace doors
[Aku mendengar bakat mereka, membuka pintu istana]

Every night they're dancin', on those marble floors
[Setiap malam mereka menari, di lantai marmer itu]

Kings may bow before them, but they'll be my own
[Raja mungkin membungkuk di depan mereka, tapi mereka akan menjadi milikku]

Then they'll shake their thing for me alone
[Dan mereka akan menari hanya untukku]

Rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
[Cincin di jari mereka, lonceng di jari kaki mereka]

They make music, wherever they go
[Mereka menciptakan musik, kemanapun mereka pergi]

Pound that little drum now, tap on it with your thumb
[Ketuk drum kecil itu sekarang, ketuk dengan ibu jari mu]

Shake, shake the little tambourine
[Goyangkan, goyangkan tamborin kecil itu]

Shake a-ring a-jing-a-ling-a-ling
[Goyangkan, bunyikan jing-jing a-ling-a-ling]

Shake, shake my little dancin' queen
[Goyangkan, goyangkan ratu dansiku]

That tambourine, that tambourine
[Tamborin itu, tamborin itu]
