Let me go, let me go
To the monsoon rains.
Let every citizen in Kathmandu
That can come 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.
To the monsoon rains.
Let every citizen in Kathmandu
That can come 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
