La Caffettiera Lyrics in English by Bugo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Caffettiera by Bugo from Italian to English.
La caffettiera una volta era grigia
The coffee maker once was grey
Ora è nera e s'è bruciata l'ho dimenticata
Now it's black and got burnt, I forgot it
È uscito il caffè e ha investito i fornelli
The coffee came out and hit the stove
Sono uscito con quel vestito grigio
I went out with that grey suit
La caffettiera era dura molto dura
The coffee maker was hard, very hard
Mentre ora sembra un orologio molle
While now it looks like a soft clock
Sto dicendo che tutti proprio tutti
I'm saying that everyone, absolutely everyone
Dovrebbero abusare della caffettiera
Should abuse the coffee maker
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
La caffettiera è una torre che si scalda
The coffee maker is a tower that heats up
E contiene un segreto macinato
And contains a ground secret
Stai attento che arriva il momento
Be careful, the moment comes
Che se non stai attento sei scottato
That if you're not careful, you're scalded
La caffeina è una droga consentita
Caffeine is an allowed drug
Questa cosa l'ho sentita da zia Rita
I heard this from Aunt Rita
Ecco perché tutti proprio tutti
That's why everyone, absolutely everyone
Dovrebbero abusare della caffeina
Should abuse the caffeine
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Ventitremila modi ti voglio spiegare
Twenty-three thousand ways I want to explain to you
Ventitremila modi per non farsi del male
Twenty-three thousand ways to not hurt yourself
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
La caffettiera è come questa società
The coffee maker is like this society
È un elogio prolungato della quantità
It's a prolonged praise of quantity
Ecco perché tutti proprio tutti
That's why everyone, absolutely everyone
Dovrebbero abusare della caffettiera
Should abuse the coffee maker
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!
Sveglia
Wake up!

Did you like this lyrics translation?
abusare — to abuse / to overuse
Abusare literally means "to abuse" or "to overuse." It's an intriguing word choice because it typically carries a negative connotation.
However, in Bugo's song, it's used in a playful and almost ironic way. He suggests that "tutti proprio tutti dovrebbero abusare della caffettiera" (everyone, absolutely everyone, should abuse the coffee maker) and later, "dovrebbero abusare della caffeina" (should abuse caffeine). This unexpected use of a strong word like "abusare" to encourage something as mundane as enjoying coffee makes it memorable and adds a quirky humor to the lyrics.
