Grinding Coffee

Moliendo Cafe

When the afternoon languishes, the shadows come back to lifeCuando la tarde languidece, renacen las sombras
In the stillness of the coffee plantations, they start to feel againEn la quietud de los cafetales, vuelven a sentir
You can hear the sad love song from the old millSe oye la triste canción de amor de la vieja molienda
That in the lethargy of the night seems to moanQue en el letargo de la noche parece gemir

When the afternoon languishes, the shadows come back to lifeCuando la tarde languidece, renacen las sombras
In the stillness of the coffee plantations, they start to feel againEn la quietud de los cafetales, vuelven a sentir
You can hear the sad love song from the old millSe oye la triste canción de amor de la vieja molienda
That in the lethargy of the night seems to moanQue en el letargo de la noche parece gemir

A love sorrow, a sadness carries the zambo Manuel in his bitternessUna pena de amor, una tristeza lleva el zambo Manuel en su amargura
He spends the rest of the night grinding coffeePasa el resto de la noche moliendo café
Grind!¡Muele!
