Umbrella
Chris Brown feat. Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh huh, uh huh (Good Girl Gone Bad)
Uh huh, uh huh (take three, action)
Uh huh, uh huh (Hov)
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Comin' down like Dow Jones
We Roc-A-Fella
We fly higher than weather
In G5's or better
You know me (you know me)
In anticipation for precipitation stack chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back
With Little Ms. Sunshine, Rihanna, where you at?
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby, 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come into me (there's no distance in between our love)
So gon' and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
Baby, come into me
Come into me
It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain, come into me
The lyrics to Chris Brown & Rihanna's song Umbrella are referencing the power of their love as a protective shield in times of difficulty, where they draw parallels with an umbrella coming to someone's aid during rainfall. The first verse with Chris Brown reveals his success in being wealthy and powerful, stating that he will still be successful even if it rains hard like the stock market crashing. The following verse with Rihanna shifts the focus to their relationship, the fact that they support each other unconditionally, and that their love is soulful and everlasting, something that even bad tempered situations could not break. They vow to be an evergreen source of support for each other.
The chorus is a duet between the two artists that promises to stand steadfast in each other's company, through the good or the bad. They assure each other through their love that come rain or shine, they will always be together. The bridge highlights the need for proximity in relationships, despite long distances, and promises to remain loyal despite any storms that come their way. They conclude by reiterating that they are open and ready for each other and will always stay true.

These fancy things will never come in between
Material possessions will not get in the way of our love
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
Our love is something that will last forever
When the war has took its part
When times are tough and we are faced with challenges
When the world has dealt its cards
When we are faced with difficulties in life
If the hand is hard
If things are tough
Together we'll mend your heart
We will get through this tough time together and heal our heartache
You can run into my arms
I will catch you when you fall

It's raining, raining
Using the rain as a metaphor for difficulty and heartache
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
Emphasizing how difficult things currently are
Baby, come into me
Come to me for support and comfort
It's pouring rain
The difficulties are coming down heavily
You can always come into me
You can always count on me to be there for you
It's pouring rain, come into me
Reiteration of the need for comfort during tough times
