Seasons come, seasons go, my friend,
But my heart's beloved never ends.
Seasons come, seasons go, my friend,
But my heart's beloved never ends.

The house, the courtyard, they resound,
With music, joyously profound.
My heart's beloved never ends,
Seasons come, seasons go, my friend,
But my heart's beloved never ends.

From the heavens, fire descends,
How can I adorn, as the world suspends?
From the heavens, fire descends,
How can I adorn, as the world suspends?
Each bud, a bed I did attend,
Now each flower, a burning end.
How can I adorn?
From the heavens, fire descends,
How can I adorn, as the world suspends?
From the heavens, fire descends,
Fire descends, fire descends.

I come, I come, lifting the veil,
Of clouds that veil the heavens' trail,
Lifting the veil, the heavens' trail,
Dripping gently, I prevail.
I come, I come, lifting the veil,
Dripping gently, I prevail, I come, I come,
Drums and tambourines, the clouds proclaim,
Lightning's oboe, a vibrant name.
Through the azure, alleyways, I claim,
A jubilant, joyous, burning flame.
I come, I come,
Lifting the veil, the heavens' trail,
Lifting the veil, the heavens' trail,
Dripping gently, I prevail.

My friend, how can I make my anklets chime?
Every limb trembles, in this timeless time.
How can I adorn my forehead, with a bindhi, divine?
My friend, how can I make my anklets chime?
Cool, pure, the holy torment, to my design,
Cool, pure, the holy torment, to mine,
How can I come to my lover, divine,
My friend, how can I make my anklets chime?

Tell my love to come,
My heart's lotus starts to hum.
Tell my love to come,
My heart's lotus starts to hum.
Restless glances, to and fro, become,
Bees are buzzing, thoughts to come.
Each bud shies, overcome,
Tell my love to come,
My heart's lotus starts to hum.
Tell my love to come,
My heart's lotus starts to hum.
