Moliendo café

Grinding Coffee

Moliendo café

When the afternoon languishesCuando la tarde languidece
shadows come backrenacen las sombras
and in the stillness of the coffee fieldsy en la quietud de los cafetales
they start to feelvuelven a sentir
this sad love songesta triste canción de amor
from the old grinding mill,de la vieja molienda,
in the lethargy of the nighten el letargo de la noche
it seems to say.parece decir.

A love sorrow,Una pena de amor,
a sadness,una tristeza,
the dark-skinned Manuel carrieslleva el zambo Manuel
in his bitternessen su amargura
The night passes tirelesslyPasa incansable la noche
grinding coffee.moliendo café.
