In this song, the word cafetal means coffeee plantation,
and, of course, that doesn't go very well with the tune of the song,
so we left the word cafetal in the English version..
This is a fun song. It's a version of Caribbean folklore - almost like an
emblem.
It has been around for a long time. The words are not spelled out completely.
That is so, because it is written in an idiom used in traditional folk music.
Something alike to the way country music is written.
