Ojalá que llueva café [English translation]

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
