In the contemporary diaspora, their song lives on,
Like flowers that sprout, its essence endures,
Dressed in colors, with grace and elegance,
They carry fruits and dreams with skill and perseverance.

They are guardians of knowledge, stories and songs,
Through the centuries, they remain pillars,
Preserve culture, identity and voice,
At every fruit sale, his voice reverberates.
