Default tea and books [spanish]

I now the group is english speaking, i didn't want to provoke, just
sharing this short text, it's a poem a old man sings in a village.

I didn't dare to translate as this used to change a lot in different
editions. I apologise anyway if anyone felt uncomfortable with non
english texts

maybe i only put "soon" for "pronto" in spite of "quickly", they will
be a couple for sure, but in a undefined future, maybe tomorrow, maybe
next year...

still looking for spanish [or in spain] tea drinkers
regards from madrid, spain
