Didn't it rain, children?
|
Talk about rain, oh, my Lord
|
Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?
|
Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain?
|
|
Oh, it rained forty days
|
And it rained forty nights
|
There was no land nowhere in sight
|
God, send the angel to spread the news
|
|
He hastes his wings and away he flew
|
To the East to the West
|
To the North to the South
|
All day all night
|
|
How it rained, how it rained
|
Didn't it rain, children?
|
Talk about rain, oh, my Lord
|
Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?
|
|
Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain?
|
Some at the window, some at the door
|
Some said, "Noah, can't you take a little more?"
|
"No, no," said Noah, "no, no, my friends"
|
|
The nature got to keep; you can't get in
|
I told you, I told you a long time ago
|
You wouldn't hear me; you disobey me
|
Lord, send the angel a warning to you
|
|
It began to rain and now you are through
|
Well, it rained forty days
|
Forty nights without stopping
|
Noah was glad
|
|
When the rain stopped dropping
|
Knock at the window, knock at the door
|
Come on, brother Noah
|
Can't you take little more?
|
|
No, no, my brothers, you are full of sin
|
God has the key; you can't get in
|
Would you listen? how it rained
|
Didn't it rain, children?
|
|
Talk about rain, oh, my Lord
|
Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?
|
Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain?
