“Lapli Ka Tonbe”
The rain descends dripping the drops of bad vibes
 Caught up in the other cities it stormed over
 Falling, spreading the disease of
 Misfortunes to the unsuspecting
 Lapli ka tonbe
 
 Pittering on your window
 Pattering on your door
 Pounding it’s sinful ways into your life
 Punishing you with the least of reason
 Lapli Ka Tonbe
 
 Washing over your face
 Wiping away the optimism
 Bringing the satirism
 Of everyday life
 
 That’s rain
 And when it’s raining
 Let it pass and be ready all the while
 Because rain is the least of the storm
 It’s what comes after
 
 “Non pèmét lapli tonbe ak fosè li fason an ou vi”
 “Don’t allow the rain to force it’s way into your life.”
 
 
 
 
 “Lapli ka tonbe” is Creole for “It’s raining”
