Ei! wie schmeckt der Coffee süße, |
Ah! How sweet coffee tastes, |
Lieblicher als tausend Küsse, |
more delicious than a thousand kisses, |
Milder als Muskatenwein. |
milder than muscatel wine. |
Coffee, Coffee muss ich haben, |
Coffee, I have to have coffee, |
Und wenn jemand mich will laben, |
and, if someone wants to pamper me, |
Ach, so schenkt mir Coffee ein! |
ah, then fill up my coffee again! |
