Awake, awake, the nights they wept, a gentle rain.
Awake, awake, the nights they wept, a gentle rain.
Awake, awake, the nights they wept, a gentle rain.
Love's soft shower, could not be drunk, no, no.
In whispered words, breath mingled, hushed and low.
Adornment offered, could not be worn, no, no.
Awake, awake, the nights.
Clouds, oh clouds, roar and pour, my love cannot come.
Lightning flashes, the heart quakes, overcome.
Clouds, oh clouds, roar and pour, my love cannot come.
Lightning flashes, the heart quakes, overcome.
Pleading "Love, my love," a madwoman's plea.
Clouds, oh clouds, roar and pour, my love cannot come.
Dark clouds gather, rumble and throng.
In kohl-rimmed eyes, I hold my beloved tight,
In kohl-rimmed eyes, I hold my beloved tight,
Let me be drenched in the monsoon, come, come, come.
Awake, awake, the nights.
Beloved, beloved, how does the heart now yearn?
In my courtyard, your feet, a joyous turn.
Beloved, beloved, how does the heart now yearn?
In my courtyard, your feet, a joyous turn.
A hunger arises, oh, a spiritual fire.
Beloved, beloved, how does the heart now yearn?
Passion ignites, a melody, a mad desire.
The heart takes flight, the clouds embrace,
The heart takes flight, the clouds embrace,
Within each vein, the monsoon, come, oh come.
Awake, awake, the nights they wept, a gentle rain.
Love's soft shower, could not be drunk, no, no.
In whispered words, breath mingled, hushed and low.
Adornment offered, could not be worn, no, no.
Awake, awake, the nights.
