O clouds in the sky, sing songs of blessing!
Today I have found my Rama!
O clouds in the sky...
O clouds in the sky, sing songs of blessing!
Today I have found my Sita!
O clouds in the sky...
Like a ripe fruit falling into milk,
and soaking in sweet honey!
Like a ripe fruit falling into milk,
and soaking in sweet honey!
I will string a garland of fresh flowers to adorn you, my love!
Koo... koo-koo-koo...
I have lived to see the hour when the cuckoo sings its blessings.
O clouds in the sky... sing songs of blessing!
The gentle breeze, filled with desire,
has embraced the peacock's feathers!
The gentle breeze, filled with desire,
has embraced the peacock's feathers!
You are a beauty with the grace of an angel, my dear!
A gentle deer... oh my...
I saw a lamp lighting up within my heart!
O clouds in the sky... sing songs of blessing!
To teach lessons in school and listen to you,
is what I longed for with all my heart.
You are the chime of the temple bell, my love!
Female: Ding-dong-dong-ding!
When will the wedding conch sound its call?
O clouds in the sky, sing songs of blessing!
Female: Today I have found my Rama!
O clouds in the sky...
