Juan Valdes

(damn that red devil)
If it weren't for Juan Valdés
we'd be left wanting
for coffee
for coffee
for coffee
for coffee.

We’re four generations
of Juan Valdés
picking coffee
picking coffee
picking coffee
picking coffee.

(Here comes the Saimaza guy, damn it!)
Working like a dog
one by one I grab the beans
poor Juan Valdés
this one yes
poor Juan Valdés
this one no
poor Juan Valdés
this one yes
poor Juan Valdés.

Grandpa taught me to “brew”
“brew” taught me
and I teach my kids
'cause God wants it this way
God wants it this way
black
God wants it this way
with cream
God wants it this way
carajillo
God wants it this way
black
God wants it this way
with cream
God wants it this way
instant coffee.

(thank you, Juan Valdés)
