The east wind is dry; it brings no rain. Raise our voices to make the east wind wane. It must wane; it must wane. The south wind is wet, but it is lame. Raise our voices to make the south wind reign. It must reign; it must reign. Rains bring grain to keep us well. Raise our voices to make the south wind swell. Swell the south; swell the south. Let the rain come down, to the ground come down, to the ground come down, let the rain come down.
