Song ID help: "And the rain"

Region: Africa (sorry that's so general, but I can't remember)

Artist: unknown

This is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone can help me identify a song, probably from the early 80s. It was more rhythmic than melodic, and I remember it as African, though it might have Caribbean roots. It had a repeating refrain that went, "And the (something) and the (something) and the rain." The "somethings" here had that rhythm: two syllables, stress on the first. And the DA-da and the DA-da and the rain. Does this ring bells for anyone? I only heard it once but it has haunted me ever since.
