[Verso 1] I heard the thunder whisperin’ low, Down Bourbon Street where the wild winds blow. A shadow danced with no one near, She sang a tune only spirits hear.
[Refrão – com eco e leve distorção] Voodoo rain, fall on me, Wash my sins into the sea. New Orleans, you cast your spell, And I fell, oh I fell…
[Verso 2] A girl with eyes like fire and storm, Told my fortune in a midnight form. Jazz in the alley, moon so high, Ghosts in lace just driftin’ by.
[Refrão – repetir com leve mudança nos backing vocals] Voodoo rain, fall on me, From the bayou to the cypress tree. New Orleans, you hold me tight, All day long, and through the night.
[Ponte – sussurrada e lenta] Candle wax and sugar drum, The bones they speak, the night has come. Tambourines and velvet wine, Lost my name and lost my time.
[Refrão final – progressivo e crescente] Voodoo rain, I’m not the same, Since I whispered her sacred name. New Orleans, where the spirits meet, I lay my heart at your feet...
