Oh rain! Oh rain! 

Upon the earth you shower again

Lashing the dusty window pane

Oh drops of rain! 

Kissing the longing maiden

You drench the forest's grassy mane

Where dances the pining peacock

Quivering the covert feathers

Of it's beautiful long train

Oh showers of monsoon rain! 

Upon the parched land barren

You cast your magic spell oh rain! 

Relieving the poor farmer's pain

His fields you nourish with golden grain

Of paddy, corn and sugarcane

Ready for the harvest once again

Showers and showers of heavy rain! 

Flooding the brook, street and lane

Let not your drops go in vain

Oh showers of monsoon rain!
