UN CAFÉ E UN LIMONCELLO

 

Un café e un limoncello

A coffee and a limoncello

Dopo il pranzo

After dinner

Un café e un limoncello

I am captivated by ritual

For me food and drink

Have to mean something

Dopo il riso , dopo il vino

Per piacere, please

Un café e un limoncello

After the rice, after the wine

There’s plenty of time

For a coffee and a limoncello

Un café e un limoncello

Buono, buonissimo

Good, very good

Non voglio dolce

I don’t want a dessert

Non voglio formaggio

I don’t want cheese

Non voglio niente

I don’t want anything

Except a coffee and a limoncello

Un café e un limoncello

Un café e un limoncello

Coffee bitter for the bad times

Limoncello sweet for the ecstacy.
