Raindrops song
Rain Oh it's raining
Wets the fields
Things will be better
Darling Gol-nesa
My dear Gol-nesa is in Shalizar (rice field)
Planting rice
She would chill I'm afraid
She can not stand cold
Slow down raindrops
The orange petals would fall off
They are marrying my Gol-nesa to a guy
Oh merciful G-d
In this winter time
Take my life
Or bring her back
