The cuckoo cries, "Pihu, Pihu," the rainbird calls,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."
Hearing this, my heart trembles and falls,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."
The cuckoo cries, "Pihu, Pihu," the rainbird calls,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."

Since the rainbird touched my eyes so deep,
My eyes so deep,
Days like mountains, I cannot leap.
Since the rainbird touched my eyes so deep,
My eyes so deep,
Days like mountains, I cannot leap.
No one, oh, no one understands my grief,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."
The cuckoo cries, "Pihu, Pihu," the rainbird calls,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."

How can I tell my love, how can I say, how can I say?
Sometimes a twist, sometimes I veil my way.
How can I tell my love, how can I say, how can I say?
Sometimes a twist, sometimes I veil my way.
He does not know, oh, he does not know my plight,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."
Hearing this, my heart trembles and falls,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."
The cuckoo cries, "Pihu, Pihu," the rainbird calls,
Oh, Ram, "Pihu, Pihu."
