The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight,
The bird of time, on tireless flight,
With wings of dark and wings of light,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight.

Ah,
Since the monsoon days arrive,
Earth, a bride, begins to thrive,
Since the monsoon days arrive,
Earth, a bride, begins to thrive,
Branch on branch begins to sway,
Branch on branch begins to sway, oh,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight,
With wings of dark and wings of light,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight.

The rainy season shakes its hair,
Pearls are scattered, blossoms flare,
The rainy season shakes its hair,
Pearls are scattered, blossoms flare,
Street by street, the scents abound,
Street by street, the scents abound, oh,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight,
With wings of dark and wings of light,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight.

This year, too, the season bright,
Adorned, arrives in lonely light,
This year, too, the season bright,
Adorned, arrives in lonely light,
No companion near, alas,
No companion near, alas, oh,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight,
With wings of dark and wings of light,
The bird of time, it takes to flight,
The bird of time, in endless flight.
