My mother the cow who still feeds me now is being tortured
  Her son the bull who the fields should plough is being slaughtered
  The human child in the womb who is never born for being unwanted
  Melancholy in the Age of Kali
  Melancholy in the Age of Kali
  Kali Kali
    My mother, the earth, man treats like dirt, her resources being exhausted
  Ant-like astronauts, of the human race, scratch and scar the moon's beautiful face
  My brother, the sun, he still shines on
  He'll continue to shine for some time to come
  Melancholy in the Age of Kali
  Melancholy in the Age of Kali
  Kali Kali
    Lamentation Lamentation Lamentation [repeat]
    Heavenly Father still waters the grains
  Seems like tears fall as it rains
  Little boy blue come blow on your horn
  The sheeps in the meadow the cows in the corn
  Oh sweet friend of mine from an ancient nursery rhyme
  From a distant land once upon a time
    Melancholy in the Age of Kali
  Melancholy in the Age of Kali
  Kali Kali
