O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
What Radha whispered to Shyam, what Sita said to Ram,
Let me too, speak my heart a little, let me too, speak my heart a little.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
What Radha whispered to Shyam, what Sita said to Ram,
Let me too, speak my heart a little, let me too, speak my heart a little.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little.

Why does this languor seize me, alas?
Why does this languor seize me, alas?
Why are my tresses unbound?
Perhaps, this is your own languor,
Perhaps, this is your own languor,
Offering you my blessings.
Perhaps, your tresses too, are unbound for this reason.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
What Radha whispered to Shyam, what Sita said to Ram,
Let me too, speak my heart a little, let me too, speak my heart a little.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little.

Why does this veil, this cursed thing, take flight?
Why do these bangles, so impish, chime?
Having tied the knot of love with you,
Having tied the knot of love with you,
What fear of the world then, fair one?
See, your bangles repeat this to you.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
What Radha whispered to Shyam, what Sita said to Ram,
Let me too, speak my heart a little, let me too, speak my heart a little.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little.

Why do you wound me so, alas?
Why do you wound me so, alas?
With your tinkling anklets.
The swaying winds tell me,
The swaying winds tell me,
Who knows when your fidelity might change?
Fearing your betrayals, we make our anklets chime.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
What Radha whispered to Shyam, what Sita said to Ram,
Let me too, speak my heart a little, let me too, speak my heart a little.
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little,
O, monsoon, rain a little, o, cloud, thunder a little.
