Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que caiga un aguacero de yuca y té
Del cielo una jarina de queso blanco
Y al sur una montaña de berro y miel
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, ojalá que llueva café.
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Peinar un alto cerro de trigo y mapuey
Bajar por la colina de arroz graneado
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh...
Ojalá el otoño en vez de hojas secas
Vista mi cosecha de pitisalé
Siembre una llanura de batata y fresas
Ojalá que llueva café.
Pa' que en este mundo no se sufra tanto,
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Pa' que en mi Lereile oigan este canto
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Ojalá que llueva, ojalá, ay ojalá que llueva,
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Pa' que to' los niños canten en el campo
Ojalá que llueva café
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Sembrar un alto cerro de trigo y mapuey
Bajar por la colina de arroz graneado
Y continuar arando con tu querer
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh...
Ojalá el otoño en vez de hojas secas
Vista mi cosecha é pitisalé
Siembre una llanura de batata y fresas
Ojalá que llueva café.
Pa' que to' los niños canten en el campo
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Pa' que en mi Lereile oigan este canto
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Ojalá que llueva, ojalá, ay ojalá que llueva,
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Pa' que en este mundo no se sufra tanto,
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
