A hermit cloud, a hermit, a hermit cloud.
The hermit clouds arrive.
They come, O clouds, they come, O clouds, they come.
The hermit clouds arrive.
They come, O clouds, they come, O clouds, they come.

Like Aryans they arrive,

Homeward, their horses, their chariots race,
Homeward, their horses, their chariots race.
Lightning flashes in their hands,
They come, O clouds, they come, O clouds, they come.
A hermit cloud, a hermit, a hermit cloud.

Like nomads, they raise their tents,
Like nomads, they raise their tents.
Water skins upon their shoulders borne,

Sacks of grain, they pour down,
They come, O clouds, they come, O clouds, they come.
The hermit clouds arrive.
They come, O clouds, they come, O clouds, they come.
They come, O clouds, they come, O clouds, they come.
