Clouds, dark clouds gather, oh,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
Vessels brim, overflowing,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
Clouds, dark clouds gather, oh,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
Vessels brim, overflowing,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.

Upon his limbs, I'm bound,
By his hues, my soul is crowned.
The nightingale, in waves, resounds,
*Shana na na na na na, chhan chhan*
Clouds, dark clouds gather, oh,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
Vessels brim, overflowing,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.

All the sap now showers,
I'm immersed, transported,
My beloved's love.
All the sap now showers,
I'm immersed, transported,
My beloved's love.
Come, the dark monsoon,
My lover, bewitched,
The "Pihu" bird circles free.
Clouds, dark clouds gather, oh,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
Vessels brim, overflowing,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.

In the first spray, I'm peeled,
Beneath the peepal's shade, I'm revealed.
The nightingale, in waves, resounds,
*Shana na na na na na, chhan chhan*

All the sap now showers,
I'm immersed, transported,
My beloved's love.
All the sap now showers,
I'm immersed, transported,
My beloved's love.
Come, the dark monsoon,
My lover, bewitched,
The "Pihu" bird circles free.

Clouds, dark clouds gather, oh,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
Vessels brim, overflowing,
Kohl-dark skies unfurl.
