Clouds drift across the sky, dancing in beauty
Oh flowering vine, come a little closer, come, come, come
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Singing melodies of honey that turn into nectar
Oh rain from the sky, come a little closer, mm...
Like the melody sung by the sweet cuckoo bird
Like a honey-filled flower swaying in the gentle breeze
Coming closer and closer to my side
Giving your love and resting upon my lap
In the song that we sing, in the rhythm we dance
Let a thousand new melodies be born
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
Whatever else you wish to sing
Come close to me
Singing melodies of honey that turn into nectar
Oh rain from the sky, come a little closer, mm...
The sweet teachings of the enchanting Krishna
Flowing like clear water, like sweet fruit juice
...
The sweet teachings of the enchanting Krishna
Flowing like clear water, like sweet fruit juice
Drawing closer and standing right beside me
With a joyful heart and romantic longing
Every limb blossoming like a lovely flower
Like a swaying bouquet of colorful blooms
Oh... oh... oh...
For life to blossom in a world of joy
Come, let our journey go on
Clouds drift across the sky, dancing in beauty
Oh flowering vine, come a little closer, come, come, come
Singing melodies of honey that turn into nectar
Oh rain from the sky, come a little closer, mm...
