A little farm so far away
Rice fields everywhere
Seven children with their mum and nobody else
They have to suffer
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come...
Tschai Ni Li, about fourteen
No childlife in her eyes
Now and then she has to leave
To save her family
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come...
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come...
Neon lights, big time at Charly's bar
In the doorway tiny Tschai Ni Li
Some guys start to touch her
She closes her eyes and thinks "it has to be"
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come
When the rain... when the rain doesn't come...
Her will is stronger than her pride
She sells her body to let her family survive
Go and help the child behind those eyes
Don't play on the situation
Even if the rain... if the rain doesn't come
Even if the rain... if the rain doesn't come
Even if the rain... if the rain doesn't come...
Yeah, yeah...
