I think what this song is about is that people who travel to other countries for Vacation Don't realize that the people who actually live there suffer and dont see those places the same way as tourist..So when he says its raining in paradize he talks about the people who starve and suffer and are not Vacationing in those places. I hope people understand what i wrote, Im sick so i might not make sence, Much Love to Manu Chao and the musicians in his band y que Viva Radio Bemba!!!
Today is rainin in ALL MEXICO... no celebration, no nacional party... just shit, just calamity, just injustice, just rivers sinking poor towns and all Veracruz, Tabasco and an Hurricane is near to Yucatan... This world go crazy... is all fatality!!! Please... God, someone... help us!!!
