role of -られ, -し, and construction of the phrase


Trying to translate a song lyric and was caught off guard by this sentence:

> 雨に降られ行き場なくしなんの罰さ？と空を睨む

I feel like I get the gist of it, but uncertain that my parsing is accurate so
far. Here's what I'm looking at this as:

> （｛雨に降られ｛行き場なくし｝｝｛なんの罰さ｝？）と空を睨む

I know that I know the individual words but can't seem to make sense of it
when translating. My bad attempt ends up with:

> "What's the punishment for losing my destination to the falling rain?" I
> scowled at the sky.

There's a small amount of poetic license I'm applying, but nevertheless I feel
like I'm actually missing the mark. Can someone help me understand the role of
-られ in 雨に降られ and -し in 行き場なくし?




I think the part you're missing is that なくし is the 連用形 of 無くす. The 降られ works
like this:

> 降る
>
> 降られる = 降る + passive
>
> 降られ = 降る + passive + 連用形

So both 降られ and なくし are 連用形 used to connect clauses. This is how you should
parse it (a bit on the liberal side for the translation):

> 雨に降られ、行き場なくし、「なんの罰さ？」と空を睨む
>
> I'm rained upon and I have no place to go to. I glare at the sky thinking
> what is this punishment?!
