Stormy Weather
Angelyna Martinez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together,
I'm weary all the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me.

All I do is pray the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more.
Can't go on, every thing I had is gone
Stormy weather





Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Angelyna Martinez's song Stormy Weather express the sadness and despair that comes as a result of a lost love. The singer longs for the return of sunny days, but instead faces constant rain and gloom as a metaphor for the emotional turmoil she is experiencing. The opening line of "Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky," speaks to the frustration of not understanding why things have gone wrong. The repeated refrain of "stormy weather" reinforces her feeling that life is out of her control and she is at the mercy of the weather.


The final lines of the song reveal her deepest fear, that without her loved one, she is afraid of what she may become. The line "If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me," personifies the inanimate object as taking on a life of its own, emphasizing that she feels lost without a partner. The song ultimately speaks to the universal feeling of heartbreak and the search for hope amidst feelings of hopelessness.
