The rain, the rain Falling without pause There's a man in a wclay work In such a deep dream; In his mind a view of his boy Likewise a view of his girl Sleeping in the house Without anxiety, without fear White clay, white clay His clothes are bespattered From the work so rough So wet and so heavy; He will carry on In his cursed work Limbs dead tired Through the long grey months At home at the hearth A young wife baking Economical, industrious by nature; In sickness, in health Protecting her children Hard her life And without great hope The rain, the rain Showers without respite And the clay of his work shovel Is heavy with water; His work is safe From the people at the gate Seeking his wages every day And every hour At home at the hearth A young wife baking Economical, industrious by nature In sickness, in health Protecting her children Rough her life And without great hope So easy, very easy It is to look backwards To past ages At the history of the country; Would it be of any use To retread the footsteps Footprints born In the country's history?
