The black clouds gather, they gather near,
The black clouds gather, oh so near,
A joyous rain to every home they steer.
The black clouds gather, they gather near,

Black as night, the cuckoo's call,
On every branch, the black bee thrall,
Black as night, the cuckoo's call,
On every branch, the black bee thrall,
The wet winds whisper, a promise told,
The dark clouds thunder, stories bold.
The black clouds gather, they gather near,

The rain's anklets dance, a rhythmic chime,
The rain's anklets dance, marking time,
The mad clouds pour, in their prime.
I count the moments, yearning eyes,
Whose names shall I call, beneath these skies?
The black clouds gather, they gather near,
A joyous rain to every home they steer,
The black clouds gather, they gather near,
They gather near, they gather near,
The black clouds gather, they gather near.
