When the first rains fall, the play arena is set…
The lightning snap, the wind howl and here came the heavy rain!
With shrieks of joy and happiness the village children and pets will run
Pushing to be the first to embrace the rain
Now the rain will beckon to all with reduced tempo
Allowing everyone to settle to the touch it has brought
What a wonderful natural feeling!

Now come and wet our dresses, twist our hairs
Let the mighty Thunder, your cousin clap
Fill our eyes with your cold drench
And let the quiet Hamlet rejoice in your strength
You sent the wind, she happily came to us
Trailing behind us, throwing a handful of water slap on our faces
Pulling our dresses from beneath and all about us
Dancing with the fallen tree leaves, papers and fine sand
Pounding the soft soil, that at the distance we could hear the frogs shriek with joy
Oh, the first rains are always fun, a time to celebrate the sweetness that nature brings
