Let me go, let me go
To the monsoon rains.
Let every citizen in Kathmandu
That [bad word] hear me say
"We did good"
We did better daddy.
We haven’t erased the memory.
We prevailed enough for decency.
It was a good day,
O such a great day.

Even though
It’s raining and it’s thundering in Nepal
It’s where I want to go.

O it’s a good day
For making it known
From the roof of a car.
Let me breathe in the garlands
Of the golden marigolds around my throat.
O it’s a good day
For shouting in the street;
They are walking miles and miles for days and days
From all the foothills.
We really enjoy the warmth of the hand-woven silk.
On this a good day. This is a great day

Even though
It’s raining and it’s thundering in Nepal
It’s where I want to go.
