After more than a decade in relative obscurity, Argentina-born crooner Semino Rossi emerged as one of the biggest singing stars in Central Europe. Born in Rosario, Argentina, on May 29, 1962, Rossi arrived in Austria in 1986, working as a hotel singer. In the years to follow he spent the summer months in Spain and the winter season in Austria, eventually settling full-time in Innsbruck. There Rossi joined the Worldmasters für Lateinamerikanische Tänze in 1995, culminating in 2001 when he was crowned Weltmeister in Lateinamerikanischer Musik at the world championship in Japan. That same year Rossi signed to Universal, in 2004 releasing his first German-language LP, Alles Aus Liebe. Tausend Rosen für Dich followed a year later, climbing into the German Top Ten and solidifying Rossi's growing stature. He closed out 2005 with a holiday album, Feliz Navidad. With 2006's Ich Denk an Dich Rossi enjoyed his greatest success to date, winning the ECHO and the Amadeus Austrian Music Award. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Moliendo Café
Semino Rossi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y en la quietud los cafetales vuelven a sentir,
esta triste canción de amor de la vieja molienda
que en el letargo de la noche parece decir...
Cuando la tarde languidece renacen las sombras,
en la quietud los cafetales vuelven a sentir,
esta triste canción de amor de la vieja molienda
Una pena de amor, una tristeza
canta el zambo Manuel en su amargura,
pasa incansable la noche moliendo café.
Cuando la tarde languidece renacen las sombras,
en la quietud los cafetales vuelven a sentir,
esta triste canción de amor de la vieja molienda,
en el letargo de la noche parece decir...
The lyrics to Semino Rossi's song "Moliendo Café" are about the reawakening of shadows as the afternoon fades, and the coffee plantations come to life once more in the peaceful night. The song talks about an old coffee mill that is slowly coming to life and is singing a melancholic song of love. The main protagonist, a man named Manuel, is also in pain after having lost his love, and he spends his nights tirelessly grinding coffee. The shadows and the stillness of the night seem to be listening to the mill's song.
The lyrics are a reflection of the life of the people who depend on coffee mills, where loneliness and heartbreak are shared between the grinders, who work long hours to make ends meet. The song is nostalgic and emotional, yet it tells a beautiful story of the human experience of love, loss, and hope despite the pain.
