Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In Un Caffè by Gino Paoli from Italian to English.
Coi camerieri maleducati
With rude waiters
Per la prima volta
For the first time
Noi ci siamo amati
We loved each other
Senza neppure il portacenere
Without even an ashtray
T'ho sentita tremare
I felt you tremble
E fremere per me
And shiver for me
Io non vedevo i tuoi occhi
I didn't see your eyes
Non li vedevo
I didn't see them
Però piuttosto annoiato
But rather bored
E non ti guardavo
And I wasn't looking at you
Sopra le tazze di caffè fatto male
Above the cups of poorly made coffee
È nato tutto quel che conta per noi
Everything that matters for us was born
Per te e per me
For you and for me
Io non vedevo i tuoi occhi
I didn't see your eyes
Non li vedevo
I didn't see them
Però piuttosto annoiato
But rather bored
E non ti guardavo
And I wasn't looking at you
Sopra le tazze di caffè fatto male
Above the cups of poorly made coffee
È nato tutto quel che conta per noi
Everything that matters for us was born
Per te e per me
For you and for me
