rain
José Feliciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the pouring rain
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain
You know I love you more

Let it rain all night long,
Let my love for you go strong,
As long as we're together
Who cares about the weather?

Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall,
And with every drop of rain,
I can hear you call,
Call my name right out loud,
I can here above the clouds
And I'm here among the puddles,
You and I together huddle.

Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall.

It's raining,
It's pouring,
The old man is snoring,
Went to bad
And bumped his head,
He couldn't get up in the morning,





Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to the rain

Overall Meaning

In the song "Rain" by José Feliciano, the singer uses the metaphor of the rain to express his love for someone. The first two stanzas of the song are very similar; the singer encourages the listener to "listen to the pouring rain" and "listen to it pour," conveying a sense of peace and serenity that comes with the sound of rainfall. With every drop of rain, the singer claims to love the listener more. He then goes on to say that regardless of the weather and how long it rains, his love for this person will remain strong as long as they are together.


In the third stanza, the singer describes how he hears the listener's voice in the falling rain. He hears them calling his name, and he feels as though they are together even when they are physically apart. The final stanza is a bit of a departure from the song's main theme, as it introduces the children's rhyme "It's raining, it's pouring." However, the singer quickly returns to the theme of the rain by encouraging the listener one final time to "listen to the falling rain."


One interpretation of this song is that the singer is expressing a romantic love for someone. The metaphor of the rain suggests that their love is pure, soothing, and consistent. However, rain can also be interpreted as a symbol of sadness or grief, which could suggest that the singer is mourning a lost love or a relationship that has ended. Regardless of the interpretation, it is clear that the singer feels a strong emotional connection to the person he is addressing.
