Can You Hear the Rain

Jew, jew, can you hear the rain The swallows have come home There is a flood in the sugarcane And he wonders where you roam Jew, jew can you hear the rain The mangoes fall from every tree Children are dancing in the lane And he keeps vigil and memory Jew, jew can you hear the rain The sun is gone, now gone for good He smiles a lot, but laugh is vain Hate is sweet, but love is good, is good.
