Moliendo Café

Grinding Coffee

Moliendo Café

When the afternoon languishesCuando la tarde languidece
Shadows come backRenacen las sombras
And in the stillness the coffee plantationsY en la quietud los cafetales
Start to feelVuelven a sentir

You sing a sad love songEchas tristón canción de amor
From the old grinding millDe la vieja molienda
That in the lethargy of the nightQue en el letargo de la noche
Seem to moanParecen gemir

A love sorrow, a sadnessUna pena de amor, una tristeza
Zambo Manuel carries, in his bitternessLleva el zambo Manuel, en su amargura
The night passes tirelesslyPasa incansable la noche

When the afternoon languishesCuando la tarde languidece
