A Tazza 'e Caffè [English translation]

I would like to know why when you see me,

You always have a bitter face ...

But you, how much uglier you show yourself,

More beautiful, in my eyes, you appear.

I don't know if you notice now ...

But in these ways, oh Brígida,

You look like a cup of coffee:

Below you have sugar,

And above, you are bitter ...

But I so much that I have to turn,

So much so that I have to turn ...

That the shower under the cup,

Up to my mouth it must reach me!

The more time passes and the more you cool down,

Instead of warming up ... "Delicious coffee!"

The beauty is that even if you freeze,

You are the delight of the coffee granita ...

By competing with the lemonade ...

But with these ways, Brígida,

You look like a cup of coffee:

Below you have sugar,

And above, you are bitter ...

But I so much that I have to turn,

So much so that I have to turn ...

That the shower under the cup,

Up to my mouth it must reach me!

Are you the mother of pranksters ...?

And I, my beauty, son of a paper maker!

If you enjoy changing your heart,

I foresee the future for the poor ... 1

Beautiful couple we would be making love!

But with these ways, Brígida ...

You look like a cup of coffee:

Below you have sugar,

And above, you are bitter ...

But I so much that I have to turn,

So much so that I have to turn ...

That the shower under the cup,

Up to my mouth it must reach me!
