The earth is so dry. Been long since a rain. I pray that the clouds will appear. And my heart's been so low since my love's been away. The only rain's been my tears. And my lips are so parched. Seek their quench in his kiss, not the salty taste of my tears.

Now the storm clouds appear, and the heat of the day rises up to caress the sky. And the trees gently dance in the whispering breeze. And the clouds shed soft tears as they cry. Soon my love shall return from his journey afar, and my heart can whisper a sigh.

My heart forever shall yearn, until my love's safe return.

Now the rain gently falls on the land, parched and dry, and the earth drinks deeply and long. And the scent rises up from the creosote sweet. And my heart swells as birds sing their song. Soon my love shall return, and he'll kiss me again, and my hear no more shall long.
