Lyrics
Someone told me long ago there’s a calm before the storm,
– Yon moun te di m depi lontan gen yon kalm anvan tanpèt la,
I know; it’s been comin’ for some time.
– Mwen konnen; li te vini pou kèk tan.
When it’s over, so they say, it’ll rain a sunny day,
– Lè li fini, se konsa yo di, li pral lapli yon jou solèy,
I know; shinin’ down like water.
– Mwen konnen; shinin’ desann tankou dlo.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
– Mwen vle konnen, èske w te janm wè lapli a?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
– Mwen vle konnen, èske w te janm wè lapli a
Comin’ down on a sunny day?
– Ap vini desann sou yon jou solèy?
Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard,
– Yè, ak jou anvan, solèy la frèt e lapli a difisil,
I know; been that way for all my time.
– Mwen konnen; te konsa pou tout tan mwen.
‘Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow,
– ‘Jiska tout tan, sou li ale nan sèk la, vit ak dousman,
I know; it can’t stop, i wonder.
– Mwen konnen; li pa ka sispann, mwen mande.
Yeah!
– Wi!
