Kaffeeernte/ Coffee Harvest/ Cosecha De Café
An dünnen Zweigen
Aus dunklem Grün leuchtendes Rot
Zeit für die Ernte
Flinke Finger pflücken reife Kirschen
Schnell füllen sich die Bilums
-------------------------------------------
On thin branches
Out of dark green a brilliantt red
It's time for harvest
Nimble fingers picking ripe cherries
The bilums are quickly filled
-----------------------------------------
En ramas delgadas
Del verde oscuro un rojo brillante
Tiempo para la cosecha
Ágiles dedos cogen cerezas maduras
Rápidamente se llenan las bilums
Note: In Papua New Guinea the ripe coffee cherries are collected in big bilums which are
string bags mainly made from natural fibers of certain lianas or knottet from artificial
material.
