88 Lyrics in English амбисаша (ambisasha)

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 88 by амбисаша (ambisasha) from Russian to English.
I don't know who's paying for dinner
But I guess we don't need it
I've studied your profile inside and out
For our love that's enough
88 cups of coffee
I love you like a Russian Raf
No matter where I am, in Russia or Europe
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
I don't get fashion trends
But there's no need to wait for the weather by the sea
I'll throw on whatever and order coffee
For our love that's enough
88 cups of coffee
I love you like a Russian Raf
No matter where I am, in Russia or Europe
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
I'm not going to live at work
Our future home fits better
My soul's open, always ready
For our love that's enough
88 cups of coffee
I love you like a Russian Raf
No matter where I am, in Russia or Europe
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
88 cups of coffee
I love you like a Russian Raf
No matter where I am, in Russia or Europe
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere
Minzdrav recommends you to me everywhere

SONG MEANING

Imagine counting your love in cups of coffee instead of kisses. In “88,” Russian indie artist амбисаша brews romance into a playful caffeine high: she claims that 88 cups are all two people need to fuel their relationship. The lyrics toss aside worries about who pays the dinner bill, what the fashion trends are, or the grind of work. What matters is the simple ritual of sharing coffee together.

The chorus compares her affection to a Russian raf — a sweet, frothy espresso drink beloved across cafés from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Wherever she travels, from Russia to Europe, she jokes that even the Ministry of Health recommends her partner, hinting that this love is good for her well-being. With lighthearted humor and cozy imagery, the song celebrates carefree devotion, proving that happiness can be as easy as two hearts, one coffee order, and 88 delightful sips.
