Oh, Please Rain!

[na re, na re] [x2]

[na na na re, na re] [x2]

[na re, na re]

[na na re, na na re] [x2]

Rainclouds, rainclouds, rain!

Please rain, rainclouds, rain!

[both lines x2]

It's sweet, it's warm

It's a kiss from the rain

It's warm, it's warm

It's a kiss from the rain

[all stanza x2]

Water, water, water

Water, land, water

Go, go, go

Go, go, go

Keep flowing, go

[na re, na re] [x4]

Please rain …

Rain, rainclouds, please rain, rainclouds!

Rain, rainclouds, rain!

Wet, wet, yes

Yeah, yeah, (ha, ha)

Of wet mud

we will go and make toy-houses

Of wholly green mango branches trees

we will meet, and swing and swing together

Dhan, Baiju, Gajni, all harnessed to the plough

The oxen's bell rang, and ponds started filling

I went swimming, and went across [x2]

Once across, I went on the shore

Rainclouds …

[na na re, na na re] [x4]

[film dialog]

Black, dark nights, in the dark nights

This cloudiness will pour

Rainclouds will search for me in the lanes

and having thundered, will turn around

Home, courtyard, and water spring,

don't forget me, otherwise everyone will ask

I went as I flowed, went as I flowed,

I go on saying, I said as I went:

Rainclouds …

[na na re, na na re] [x4]

[fading repetitions]

[na re … na re …]
