We Overcome this Wind - Waloyo Yamoni

We overcome this wind

We desire the rain to fall,

that it be poured in showers quickly

Ah! Thou rain, I adjure thee fall

If thou rainest, it is well

 

If our women rejoice - it is well

If the children rejoice - it is well

If the young men sing - it is well

If the aged rejoice - it is well

 

A drizzling confusion

Confusion, a torrent in flow

If the rain veers to the south

If the wind veers to the south

 

A torrent in flow overflowing, may it fill

An overflowing in the granary,

May our grain fill the granaries.
