There is a smell of rain.
Oh, much anticipated drops of heavenly juice
The parched land is crying for you
The tears have evaporated, drying even the mouths of babes
This land has longed for you for so long
Like it does justice for her babies
There is a smell of rain
Please do not tease us
Like so many times before
The rights must triumph over the wrongs
Like light over the dark
And water over thirst
There is a smell of rain
And I smell it
I see it
And I sense it as it caresses my bare skin
Come rain and wash away our sorrows and tears
We have cried enough!
