I hope it will rain coffee
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
Let there be a heavy rain of cassava roots and tea
Let a drizzle of white cheese fall from the sky
And to the South a mountain of pepper grass and honey
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, I hope it will rain coffee
(Chorus)
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
To smooth a high hill made of wheat and yam
To go down a hill of rice [1]
And to keep on plowing the land with your love
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh...
I hope that autumn will cover my harvest
With pitisalé instead of with dry leaves [2]
I want to sow sweet potatoes and strawberries in a plain
I hope it will rain coffee
So that we won't suffer so much while working the plot*
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
So that they could hear this song in Villa Vásquez [*]
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
I hope it will rain, I hope it will rain, ah man
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
I hope it will rain coffee
Ooh
(Chorus)
So that we won't suffer so much while working the plot*
Hey, I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
So that they could hear this song in Los Montones [*]
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
I hope it will rain, I hope it will rain, ah man
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
I hope it will rain coffee
So that all the children will sing in the countryside
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
So that they could hear this song in La Romana [*]
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
Ah! I hope it will rain, I hope it will rain, ah man
I hope it will rain coffee in the countryside
I hope it will rain coffee

* As in a plot of land but I'm still not sure if I can use it like that so please correct me if I'm wrong.
