A foe-like cuckoo calls its song,
A foe-like cuckoo, where it belongs.
It sets ablaze my widowed heart,
My widowed heart, torn far apart.
Love's longing it does awake,
Love's longing, for goodness sake.
My love's memory, it does arise,
My love's memory, in tear-filled eyes.
Oh, Rama, my love's memory,
Rama, my love's memory.
Oh, Rama, my love's memory.

Oh, Rama, my love's memory.
Young days, listen, O my love,
Young, young, young days, above.
Young days, listen, O my love.
