Homenaje al Cortador Caña
[Tribute to the Cane Cutter]
Sonó el pito.... ¡A picar caña! Es hora de recoger el fruto de yabucoeños esforzados que derramaron sudor en los surcos de nuestros cañaverales. Recordamos con nostalgia los años de esplendor de nuestra industria azucarera, la tan esperada zafra.
Nos dejante el gran legado de ser llamados "El pueblo del azúcar, guarapo y melao."
The whistle blew.... Let's chop sugar cane! It is time to reap the fruit of hard-working Yabucoans who shed sweat in the furrows of our cane fields. We nostalgically remember the years of splendor of our sugar industry, the long-awaited harvest.
Leaving us the great legacy of being called "The town of sugar, guarapo and melao."
Erected 2007 by Municipio de Yabucoa, Hon. Angel "Papo" García de Jesús, Alcalde.
