Drum beat drums, a rhythm's call,
Like a horse's stride, an elephant's haul.
O, Rain King, from what realm do you fall?
Like a horse's stride, an elephant's haul,
O, Rain King, where did you enthrall?

When a maiden laughs, a sunlit grace,
Drum beat drums, time cannot erase.
When a maiden laughs, a sunlit grace,
Rain descends, a tinkling embrace.
When a youth sings, a soul takes flight,
Drum beat drums in the fading light.
When a youth sings, a soul takes flight,
Monsoon arrives, with a gathering might.
When a youth sings, a soul takes flight,
Monsoon arrives, with a gathering might.
Drum beat drums, a rhythm's might.

O, ho, ho, aah, hey, hey, hey.
Clouds descend, in a gentle sway,
Paths are stalled, along the way.
What is your will, O, Cloud of gray?
Will you not let us seek our home?
Before us, the downpour, a brewing storm.
The fickle season, where do we roam?
Drum beat drums, the heart's new home.
Drum beat drums, the heart's new home.
When a maiden laughs, a sunlit grace,
Rain descends, a tinkling embrace.
When a youth sings, a soul takes flight,
Monsoon arrives, with a gathering might.
Drum beat drums, in the fading light.

O, ho, ho, aah, hey, hey, hey.
The sky bends low, in a shadowed array,
All things pause, in a quiet sway.
The scene unfolds, in a loving way,
Listen to the Monsoon’s soft decree.
In this sweet season, speak to me,
Do something, darling, don't you see?
Drum beat drums, wild and free.
Drum beat drums, wild and free.
Like a horse's stride, an elephant's haul,
O, Rain King, where did you enthrall?
Drum beat drums, answer the call.

When a maiden laughs, a sunlit grace,
Rain descends, a tinkling embrace.
When a youth sings, a soul takes flight,
Monsoon arrives, with a gathering might.
Drum beat drums, in fading light.
O, ho, ho, aah, hey, hey, hey.
