When the rain is about to come,
A cool breeze blows.
The sky becomes dark and lonesome
And the dazzle vanishes that the sun shows.
The cuckoos sing and the peacocks dance
I too join them and dance with glee.
Everyone savours the glorious chance
Because this is a time when you feel free.
And then the rain comes to everyone’s delight
The heat and humidity is gone all right.
It gives us all something to cheer,
Now, the sun’s glare, no one needs to fear.
After the hot summer days, the rain is indeed a relief
Everyone wishes to drench, I believe.
If you feel the same, then go ahead and enjoy the rain,
As it’ll drain away all your sorrow and pain.
