Whenever it rains I think of you
And I always remember that day in may
When I saw you walking in the rain
I know not what it was nor why
For ususally I'm quite shy
I ax'd your name, you smile and said "Lorraine"
I ax'd if I could share your umbrella
You smiled and said "what a cheeky little fella"
Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine
Hoping to see you again
Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine
A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine
You're drivin' me insane
Whenever it rains I think of you
And I always remember that day in may
When I saw you walking in the rain
I know not what it was nor why
For ususally I'm quite shy
But from the moment I saw you
I knew, that I needed you in my life
From that moment on I knew
That I wanted you for my wife
Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine
Hoping to see you again
Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine
A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine
You're drivin' me insane
Whenever it rains I think of you
And I always remember that day in may
When I saw you walking in the rain
I know not what it was nor why
For ususally I'm quite shy
I said " let's go back to my place for some coffee"
You frown and said "well, kiss me batty"
I fell so ashamed, I did not even notice
When your bus came, and went again
Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine
Hoping to see you again
Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine
A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine
You're drivin' me insane, Loraine, Loraine, Loraine
Linton Kwesi Johnson (Kingston, 21 dicembre 1952) è un cantautore e poeta giamaicano considerato uno dei pionieri della Dub Poetry. La sua musica fonde elementi di reggae, dub e poesia orale, spesso incentrata su temi sociali e politici come la discriminazione razziale, l'oppressione coloniale e la lotta per i diritti civili. Johnson ha iniziato a esibirsi negli anni '70, guadagnandosi rapidamente una reputazione per le sue performance energiche e il suo impegno politico. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano "Dread Beat an' Blood", "Sonny's Lettah" e "Fyah Fyah". Nel 1980 ha pubblicato l'album "Forces of Victory", considerato un classico del genere Dub Poetry. Johnson continua a esibirsi in tutto il mondo, promuovendo la sua musica come strumento di protesta e di sensibilizzazione sociale.
