João
Rain on the roof tiles
Chuva na telha
Rain on the Roof Tiles
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep
OriginalTranslation
João a chuva chegouJoao the rain has arrivedBateu na telha primeiroIt hit the roof tiles firstDepois desceu pela calhaThen it ran down the gutterE entrou no quintal inteiroAnd came into the whole yardO cheiro de terra molhadaThe smell of wet earthSubiu até a janelaHas risen to the windowA casa está bem fechadaThe house is shut up tightE tu estás dentro delaAnd you are inside itDorme dorme meu JoãoSleep sleep my JoaoA chuva sabe cantarThe rain knows how to singDorme dorme meu JoãoSleep sleep my JoaoEla vai te embalarIt is going to rock youConta as gotas se quiserCount the drops if you likeVais perder logo a contaYou will lose count soon enoughA chuva não tem pressaThe rain is in no hurryE a noite não tem pontaAnd the night has no endDorme dorme meu JoãoSleep sleep my JoaoA chuva sabe cantarThe rain knows how to singDorme dorme meu JoãoSleep sleep my JoaoEla vai te embalarIt is going to rock you
Lullaby

The story behind this song
Rain drums steadily on the roof tiles above him, a sound as familiar as any lullaby.

Rain on a roof is one of the oldest, most dependable sleep sounds there is, tile roofs or not.
