Lips dry, throats parched
We wait for youOur bodies scorched!
Monsoon o monsoonWhere art thou?
Monsoon o monsoonWhere art thou?
Come soon, come soon!
Come now, don’t let us get burnt
Come now, don’t let us get burnt
Come like a songFrom the south-western front!
Shower us with blessings
Shower us with blessings
Quench our thirst
Don’t go anywhere, come here first!
Bring new hope, bring new life
Bring new hope, bring new life
Please put an end to these days
Days full of hunger and strife!
Days when even bread is a huge cost
Days when even bread is a huge cost
Think about our children
Their childhood forever lost!
Yes, think about them,
Yes, think about them,
how they slog No school for them
They have to pull a very heavy log!
Monsoon o monsoon, if only you fail
Monsoon o monsoon, if only you fail
Under burden of our debts we’ll die
And our dear ones will wail!
And what will be of them?
And what will be of them?
What will they do?
Have mercy on us,
Don’t let our fears come true!
