Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries,
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries.
Today, with soul alight, a song it tries,
Today, with soul alight, a song it tries.
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries,
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo…

On the garden's vibrant, joyful spring,
On the garden's vibrant, joyful spring,
On my love’s ever-changing wing,
On my love’s ever-changing wing.
Bending, swaying, heart takes flight,
Bending, swaying, heart takes flight,
And bows in purest light.
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries,
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo…

In my eyelids, your love concealed,
In my eyelids, your love concealed,
In my slumber, your memory revealed,
In my slumber, your memory revealed.
Dancing lightly, swaying, free,
Dancing lightly, swaying, free,
A song we sing for thee.
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries,
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo…

On the buds, the dark bee hums its tune,
On the buds, the dark bee hums its tune,
Each bud smiles, beneath the noon,
Each bud smiles, beneath the noon.
Yearning, trembling, lips that meet,
Yearning, trembling, lips that meet,
Love’s sweet, sweet, retreat.
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries,
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo cries.
Today, with soul alight, a song it tries,
Upon the mango, a dark cuckoo…
