The day we expected shall come so soon
Of all our times, we shall always wait
we waited and waited and look into the moon
But nothing we found that made it delayed

O God of mercy show to us your power
The rain we needed, let it shower
With long duration is all we want
To make our plant grow all at once

The voice of an old man was heard so low
Soliloquizing along the road
All for the rain to come quickly
To clear our famine and to rain deeply

The day we expected had surely arrived
Cometh was it, the rain so high
All kids were happy and felt so fly
Our prayers was accepted and wasn't denied
