I feared the clouds,
Yes, I feared the clouds,
I truly feared the clouds,
In fear, I looked,
Yes, I feared the clouds.

The black and yellow storm clouds gathered,
And poured a single sheet,
The black and yellow storm clouds gathered,
And poured a single sheet,
Wherever I go, all is water, water,
Wherever I go, all is water, water,
Then, green with joy, I swayed.
I feared the clouds,
Yes, I feared the clouds.

My beloved lives in a faraway land,
And I stand soaked, outside the door,
My beloved lives in a faraway land,
And I stand soaked, outside the door,
Meera's Lord, Giridhar, the city dweller,
Meera's Lord, Giridhar, the city dweller,
Whose love is true,
Whose love is true.
I feared the clouds,
Yes, I feared the clouds.
