Discover the story of the song > Súplica cearense – O Rappa

The protagonist is praying to God, asking for rain to fall on their land so that plants can grow, but the sun keeps shining and the earth stays dry. He wonders if he hasn't prayed correctly or if God is angry with him. He then talks about the many problems facing his community, such as violence, poverty, and corruption, all exacerbated by the lack of rain. In the end, he begs for help from God, as the situation is too much to bear.
