Translation

Koro - Awaseru djis kai p’ami

Refreská mi kurá p’ami
Nos mesté di awa
Tata manda poko awa p’ami
Ai no lubidá

Drecha koló di mi lugá
Hasiéle bèrdè kla
Yena nos mondinan ku flor
I aliviá kalor
Awaseru si bo koperá
Ku baile di seú nos por selebrá kosecha

Awaseru, yuda nos
Pa drecha un par di kos
Kambia shinishi pa koló
Basta sekura awó
Muha tur e maishi plantá
Ai, tata manda nos, bendishon den form‘i awa

Awa ta chip riba mi dak
M’a sali pafó, m’a wak
Un arko íris di koló
Kasi e ta ful rondó
T’ un señal ku bo ta skucha nos
I ku kueru i agan nos lo kanta bo alabansa

Chorus - Rain, just shower for me

Freshen up my garden for me
We need the water
Father, send me some water
Please don’t forget

Fix the color of my land
Make it fresh and green
Fill our woods with flowers
And relieve the heat
Rain, if you contribute
We can celebrate the harvest with the ‘seú’ dance
(typical harvest dance)

Rain, please help us
To brush up some things
Change grey into color
It has been dry for too long now
Soak our corn
Please Father, send us your blessing disguised as rain

I heard water spattering on my roof
I went outside and saw
A rainbow, a glorious feast of colors
Almost a full circle
It’s a sign that You are listening
And with drums and hoes we will sing Your praise
