Listen, Father, to my plea,
listen to my plea, oh Father of mine.
The monsoon arrives, bring me home,
the monsoon arrives, the monsoon arrives.
Bring me home, oh Father of mine,
listen, listen, listen.

The memory of the drenched courtyard returns,
the memory of the drenched courtyard returns.
Dry, my eyes, a desert they now churn.
Dry, my eyes, a desert they now churn.
Empty, empty, empty, empty,
empty eyes, send a shower of tears.
Listen, Father, to my plea,
listen.

Why have you forgotten, sending me afar?
Why have you forgotten, sending me afar?
Call me back, Father, in a palanquin to embark.
Call me back, Father, in a palanquin to embark.
Send me, send me,
send me, borne by four, the palanquin's spark.
Listen, Father, to my plea, oh Father of mine.
The monsoon arrives, bring me home, oh Father of mine.
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
