Lyrics
In the big rain
In the midst of a significant and heavy rainstorm
In the big rain
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of the rain
before we sleep, child
Prior to our rest, child
Before we sleep, child
Reiteration of the anticipation before sleeping, addressing a child
let your arms down, cover my head
Extend your arms downward, shielding my head
Before the big rain comes
Preparation before a significant rainstorm
we go to sleep forever
We are entering a state of perpetual sleep
There, there he comes, the beginning, child
The arrival of something significant, possibly a new phase or beginning, addressed to a child
mother, cover my chest with your pretty breast
A plea to the mother to provide comfort and protection, using maternal imagery
You said we're gonna live together
Recollection of a promise or statement about living together
Sleep forever
Expressing the desire to sleep indefinitely
before the big rain comes
Anticipation and preparation before a significant rainstorm
this is not the end
Reassurance that what is happening is not the end
