LETRALa Esperanza Del CaféShaka y Dres

Tell me who decides the price
Who has no feelings
Today, the crops of my land
are disappearing
The last thing lost is our faith
The good times have to come back
In the field everything is changing
Coffee rust took away all that was planted
Ay, ay, ay, ay
There’s no money left for fertilizers
coffee prices on the stock
exchange have hit rock-bottom
But we have not lost our faith

And the hope of coffee is returning
the fruit of my land
A fair price means sustainable coffee
As we go hand-in-hand with the environment
Fighting for a fairer world for my people

And the hope of coffee is returning
the fruit of my land
A fair price means sustainable coffee
As we go hand-in-hand with the environment
Fighting for a fairer world for my people

It's time to change the way we act
A small change in your conscious can achieve it
A fair price is synonymous to dignified work
Let's take action on the matter and not leave it to fate
There are thousands of families that depend on your purchase
Behind your coffee there are people around the world
People who dream that one day
Finally, a fair price for their work is paid

In the field everything is changing
Coffee rust took away all that was planted
Ay, ay, ay, ay
There’s no money left for fertilizers
Coffee prices on the stock exchange
Have hit rock-bottom
The last thing lost is our faith

And the hope of coffee is returning
the fruit of my land
A fair price means sustainable coffee
As we go hand-in-hand with the environment
Fighting for a fairer world for my people

And the hope of coffee is returning
the fruit of my land
A fair price means sustainable coffee
As we go hand-in-hand with the environment
Fighting for a fairer world for my people

And all the boys and girls
They would be studying at school
All of the rural people
I would be without food for dinner
The last thing lost is our faith
