The gathering clouds descend, a shadowed grace, my spirit starts to sway,
The *pihu* bird's lament, a melody, it sings and sings all day.
The gathering clouds descend, the shadows fall, my spirit starts to sway,
The *pihu* bird's lament, a melody, it sings and sings all day.
The gathering clouds descend, the shadows fall.

Through every lane, the clouds' song takes flight,
Through every lane, the clouds' song takes flight,
As lightning, a woman's laughter, dances bright.
A fairy of monsoon, in joyous sway,
My heart's deep clock, it yearns, it sighs with all its might.

My heart's deep clock, it yearns, it sighs with all its might.
The gathering clouds descend, a shadowed grace, my spirit starts to sway,
The *pihu* bird's lament, a melody, it sings and sings all day.
The gathering clouds descend, the shadows fall.

Each limb now drenched in colors of the sky,
Each limb now drenched in colors of the sky,
I drift along a current, strange, and high.
Dreams blossom, every chord begins to play,
Within the heart's mirror, a smile does lie.

Within the heart's mirror, a smile does lie.
The gathering clouds descend, a shadowed grace, my spirit starts to sway,
