The monsoon's bloom, at rivals' gate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
The monsoon's bloom, at rivals' gate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.

Dark night descends, grief from the clouds will pour,
Dark night descends, grief from the clouds will pour,
Without you, my heart, a burning sore,
My bed of love, forever more.
I’ll weep and die, your feet I’ll implore,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
The monsoon's bloom, at rivals' gate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.

What joy is life, if you're not here with me?
What joy is life, if you're not here with me?
Don't go, cruel one, and set the waters free,
Don't go, cruel one, and set the waters free.
This cool cascade, the cuckoo's plea,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
The monsoon's bloom, at rivals' gate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.

Now is not the hour to test the heart's restraint,
Now is not the hour to test the heart's restraint,
But the season to see eyes meet, souls acquaint,
This first Ashadh, show love's paint.
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
The monsoon's bloom, at rivals' gate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.

What joy is life, if you're not here with me?
What joy is life, if you're not here with me?
Don't go, cruel one, and set the waters free,
Don't go, cruel one, and set the waters free.
This cool cascade, the cuckoo's plea,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
The monsoon's bloom, at rivals' gate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate,
Don't go, my love, my dark-hued mate.
