Stormy Weather
Frank Sinatra 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 gal and I ain't together, keeps raining all the time
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere, stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time

When she went away the blues walked in and they met me
If she stays away, that old rocking chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on, everything I had is gone, stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time

(When she went away the blues walked in and they met me
If she stays away, that old rocking chair's will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more)

Can't go on, everything I had is gone, stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together




Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Frank Sinatra's "Stormy Weather" expresses the feeling of loneliness and despair that he experiences due to a recent breakup. He starts by describing the gloomy weather and how it reflects his emotional state. The lack of sun symbolizes the absence of his significant other and how that affects his life. He feels miserable and alone, unable to pull himself together. These emotions are further compounded by the constant rain that keeps him trapped in his situation.


In the second verse, he describes how the blues have taken over his life after his partner leaves him. He talks about how he can’t gather the strength to move on from the heartbreak. The third verse, however, is the most impactful, where Frank talks about how everything he had is gone, and he can’t see a way forward. He concludes by hoping that his girlfriend returns so that he can finally walk in the sun once more. This song is a classic example of how the weather metaphor can be used to convey a person’s state of mind and their feelings.

Don't know why
Theres no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I
Ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
The time
So weary all the time

When she went away
The blues walked in and they met
If she stays away that old rocking chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above is gonna let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I
Ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time

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

Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking 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
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad

Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me

(bridge)

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking 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
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

Sözler———


nedenini bilmiyorum
Don't know why

Gökyüzünde güneş yok
There's no sun up in the sky

Fırtınalı hava
Stormy Weather

Kızım ve ben birlikte olmadığımızdan beri
Since my gal and I ain't together

Sürekli yağmur yağıyor
Keeps raining all the time

hayat üryandır(çıplak)
Life is bare

Her yerde kasvet ve sefalet
Gloom and misery everywhere

Fırtınalı hava
Stormy Weather

Sadece zavallı eski benliğimi bir araya getiremiyorum
Just can't get my poor old self together

her zaman yorgunum
I'm weary all the time

Her zaman
Every time

Her zaman çok yorgun
So weary all of the time

O gittiğinden beri
When she went away

Blues içeri girdi ve sonra benimle tanıştılar
The blues walked in and then they met me

o uzak durursa
If she stays away

O eski sallanan sandalye ipe bağlı olan beni götürecek
That old rocking chair's bound to get me

tek yaptığım dua etmek
All I do is pray

Yukarıdaki lord bana izin verecek
The lord above will let me

Sadece o güneşte tekrar yürü
Just walk in that sun again

devam edemiyorum
Can't go on

sahip olduğum her şey gitti
Everything I had is gone

Fırtınalı hava
Stormy Weather

Kızım ve ben birlikte olmadığımızdan beri
Since my gal and I ain't together

Sürekli yağmur yağıyor
Keeps raining all the time

Sürekli yağmur yağıyor
Keeps raining all of the time

Professor Freud and projection were relatively new ideas when this song was written.

@harrymcgill2729

My favourite song of Frank Sinatra. And I've heard every cover of this song by all the top singers that have lived in the last Century and this is the best one ever.
