Congratulations

Congratulations

When I find the full cup before me

I wonder at its prominent essence

how can I thank so many people

for the singular fruit of their labors?

They are sources of a spring that resonates within me;

that through channels of convergent intentions

interweave, amidst struggles and presents,

this feast I enjoy today, congratulations!

I thank the farmer who fights hard

and the entrepreneurial class of the mountain;

there the wheat is separated from the chaff.

And in honor of so much dream and so much feat,

I offer a toast for the people who work

my coffee, which embodies so much national pride.
