Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
I hope it rains coffee in the fields
Que caiga un aguacero de yuca y té
Let torrents of yuca and tea fall
Del cielo una jarrita de queso blanco
From the sky a little jug of white cheese
Y al sur una montaña de berro y miel
And to the south a mountain of watercress and honey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ojalá que llueva café
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I hope it rains coffee
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
I hope it rains coffee in the fields
Peinar un alto cerro de trigo y mapuey
Comb a tall hill of wheat and mapuey
Bajar por la colina de arroz graneado
Descend down the hill of harvested rice
Y continuar arando con tu querer
And keep plowing with your love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ojalá el otoño en vez de hojas secas
I wish autumn brought not dry leaves
Pinta mi cosecha de pitisa alegre
But painted my harvest with joyful tunes
Siembra una llanura de patata y fresas
Sows a plain of potatoes and strawberries
Ojalá que llueva café
I wish it would rain coffee
Oh, ojalá que llueva café en el campo
Oh, I wish it would rain coffee in the fields
Peinar un alto cerro de trigo y mapuey
Combing a high hill of wheat and yam
Bajar por la colina de arroz graneado
Descending the slope of grain-filled rice
Y continuar el arado con tu querer
And continue plowing with your love
Ah, ailaralailala, ailarala, ailaralailala
Ah, ailaralailala, ailarala, ailaralailala
(Ojalá que llueva café)
(I wish it would rain coffee)
Pa' que la realidad no se sufra tanto
So that reality won't be suffered so much
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
I hope it rains coffee in the fields
Pa' que en Villa Hidalgo oigan este canto
So that in Villa Hidalgo they hear this song
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
I hope it rains coffee in the fields
Pa' que todos los niños canten este canto
So that all the children sing this song
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
I hope it rains coffee in the fields
Ojalá que llueva, ojalá que llueva
I hope it rains, I hope it rains
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
I hope it rains coffee in the fields
