The ectasy the rain brings;
To the subdued with sorrow farmer
Condensing from the heavens
To the lands filled with famine
Quenching the earth's thirst
To the labourers and workers
Drowning our troubles in its presence
Against the suffering-soothing scorching sun
And bringing tranquility to our mind
To the lazy school children
"Shall we go to school in the rain
Their voices sing with excitement
Ringing with joy of not learning
To the wicked government
When the rain shall become flood
For they have found an excuse
To leave the broken bridge broken
To those with water
"Why waste a penny at the borehole
When I can get it for free
O what joy the rain brings"
