La Reina Del Cafetal
José Luis Perales
The Coffee Queen
Who is that woman who smiles at me
Who perfumes the air when she passes by
Who has the Caribbean movement
When she dances at night
Who is that woman filled with dreams
With clear eyes and dark skin
Who is that woman that when she sings
Makes her heart cry
Chorus
The coffee queen smiles sadly
The coffee queen walks alone
And waits for love to be reborn
At another good time
And her voice breaks in a bolero
Singing under the moonlight
While in the silence of the night
The coffee plantation falls asleep
They tell me she loved him to madness
And that her love was not reciprocated
And since then she lives in a sigh
The wound of love
Who is that woman who stays awake
Counting the stars in her sky
And in the withered glow of a candle
She remembers what was
They tell me she is the coffee queen
Chorus
Who is that woman of warm night
And a heart of a plucked rose
Who is that woman who smiles at me
Crying her goodbye
They tell me she is the coffee queen
Chorus
