I wish autumn instead of dry leaves
Dress my harvest 'e pitisalé
Sow' a plain of sweet potatoes and strawberries
I hope it rains coffee
So that in Conuco we don't suffer so much, hey
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
So that in the heaps they hear this song
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
I hope it rains, I hope it rains, oh, ombe '
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
I hope it rains coffee, hmm
So that all the children sing in the countryside
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
So that in La Romana they hear this song
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
Oh, I hope it rains, I hope it rains, oh, ombe'
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
I hope it rains coffee
I hope it rains coffee in the countryside
Let a downpour of cassava and tea fall
From the sky a jar of white cheese
And to the south a mountain of watercress and honey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hope it rains coffee
I hope it rains coffee in the field
Comb a high hill of wheat and mapuey
Go down the hill of grained rice
And continue the plowing with your will
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I wish autumn instead of dry leaves
Dress my pitisalé harvest
Plant a plain of sweet potatoes and strawberries
I hope it rains coffee
So that in the conuco we don't suffer so much, oh, ombe'
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
So that in Villa Vasquez they hear this song
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
I hope it rains, I hope it rains, oh, ombe'
(I hope it rains coffee in the countryside)
I hope it rains coffee, eh-eh
Woh, wou, woh oh, ou woh
I hope it rains coffee in the field
Sow a high hill of wheat and mapuey
Go down the hill of grained rice
And continue the plowing with your will
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
