He took all my money
And my best friend
You know the story
Here it comes again
I have no pride
I have no shame
You gotta to make it rain
Make it rain

Since you're gone
Deep inside it hurts
I'm just another sad guest
On this dark earth
I want to believe
In the mercy of the world again
Make it rain, make it rain

The night's too quiet
Stretched out alone
I need the whip of the thunder
And the wind's dark moan
I'm not Able, I'm just Cain
Open up them heavens
Make it rain

I'm close to heaven
Crushed at the gate
They sharpen their knives
On my mistakes
What he done, you can't give it a name
You gotta to make it rain
Make it rain, yeah
Without your love
Without your kiss
Hell can't burn me
Much more than this
I'm burning with all this pain
Put out the fire
Make it rain, you gotta make it rain

Ngyi warngkarrinha waji (I'm born to trouble)
Ngyi wangkarrinha minangga (I'm born to fate)
Thurnguga wangka (Inside a promise)
Ngyi burdurdba bamagayi (I can't escape)
Nhaa gurdarmba ngurra (It's the same old world)
Mirdawa nhawa nyinja (But nothing looks the same)
Yungu thalumarnma (Make it rain!)
Yungu thalumarnma (Make it rain!)

Make it rain...
Make it rain...
Yungu thalumarnma...
