Come to the shade of the Nipa forest,
Come and bathe in the new rain.
Let your thick black hair loose,
Wear a cloud-blue dress around your body-
With kohl-lined eyes, and a garland of jasmine,
Come to the shade of the Nipa forest,
Today, let your laughter, my friend,
Sparkle on your lips and in your eyes.
In the melody of your sweet voice in the Mallar song,
Bring the message in the rustling of the forest.
In the sound of the heavy rain,
Come to the shade of the Nipa forest.
