Coffee, coffee, coffee;
Call it Arabica, call it Robusta;
Thecrop for all generations;
drinking to their fill, drinking to their health.
In the pearl of Africa;
Flowers spring out in due season;
Popping seeds beneath leafy branches;
begging tobe harvested in their billion-folds;
for the benefit of the farmer and the nation.
Stores stackedwithcoffee;
Coffeemills runningand trucksmoving;
Farmers rejoicingandexporters thriving;
The sweetness and rewardof a season;
The rewardof hard labor
Have you tried coffee farming?
Have you traded in coffee?
Don’t dare tobe left out.
Prosperity andposterity in the land;
Youths joining thecoffee industry;
All generationsworking together;
Tohonor, treasureand shape the future.
