ENGLISH TRANSLATION

As many are happy, so are many sad during the raining season. Yoruba has various songs to depict, requesting for rain, or when the rain has just begun, or when the rain is affecting outdoor activities particularly for children or when the rain is too much. Listen to some of the songs for the rain that Primary School children often sing.
