Il testo può essere messo in relazione sia al Vecchio che al Nuovo Testamento. Varie fonti sostengono che canzoni come "Wade in the water" contenessero indicazioni, rivolte agli schiavi in fuga, utili per non essere catturati e per prendere la strada migliore al fine di raggiungere la libertà. Questa canzone in particolare consiglierebbe di lasciare le vie di terra per dirigersi verso l'acqua come strategia volta a depistare i segugi.

TRADUZIONE IN ITALIANO:

Refrain

Ritornello

Wade in the Water,

Guada nell’acqua,

Wade in the Water children,

I bambini guadano nell’acqua,

Wade in the Water,

Guada nell’acqua,

God's gonna trouble the Water.

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua.

See that band all dress in white,

Guarda il gruppo vestito di bianco,

God's gonna trouble the Water,

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua,

It looks like the band of Israeli,

Deve essere il gruppo di Israeliani,

God's gonna trouble the Water.

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua.

Refrain

Ritornello

See that band all dress in red,

Guarda il gruppo vestito di rosso,

God's gonna trouble the Water,

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua,

It looks like the band that Moses led,

Deve essere il gruppo che Mosè ha portato,

God's gonna trouble the Water.

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua.

Refrain

Ritornello

Who's that young girl dressed in blue,

Chi è quella ragazza vestita di blu,

Wade in the Water,

Guada nell’acqua,

Must be Children that's coming true,

Devono essere che i bambini che si avvereranno,

God's gonna trouble the Water,

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua.

Refrain

Ritornello

You don't believe I've been redeemed,

Tu non credi che sia stato redento,

Wade in the Water,

Guada nell’acqua,

Just see the holy ghost looking for me,

Basta vedere lo Spirito Santo che mi cerca,

God's gonna trouble the Water.

Dio si occuperà dell’acqua.

Refrain

Ritornello

[en] Wade in the Water

"Wade in the Water" (Roud 5439) is an African American jubilee song, a spiritual—in reference to a genre of music "created and first sung by African Americans in slavery."[1] The lyrics to "Wade in the Water" were first co-published in 1901 in New Jubilee Songs as Sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers by Frederick J. Work and his brother, John Wesley Work Jr., an educator at the historically black college in Nashville, Tennessee, Fisk University. Work Jr. (1871–1925)—who is also known as John Work II—spent thirty years collecting, promoting, and reviving the songcraft of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, which included being a member and director of the Fisk Jubilee Quartet. The Sunset Four Jubilee Singers made the first commercial recording of "Wade in the Water" in 1925—released by Paramount Records.[2][3][4] W. E. B. Du Bois called this genre of songs the Sorrow Songs. "Wade in the Water" is associated with songs of the Underground Railroad.[5][6][7]
