For international Coffee day, Bach's Coffee Cantata!

Bach; Cantata BWV 211 - Coffee Cantata

Snip..."

Schlendrian:
Du böses Kind, du loses Mädchen,
You bad child, you wild girl!
Ach! wenn erlang ich meinen Zweck:
Oh! If only I could have my way :
Tu mir den Coffee weg!
get rid of coffee!

Liesgen:
Herr Vater, seid doch nicht so scharf!
Father, don’t be so hard!
Wenn ich des Tages nicht dreimal
If three times a day I can’t
Mein Schälchen Coffee trinken darf,
drink my little cup of coffee,
So werd ich ja zu meiner Qual
then I would become so upset
Wie ein verdorrtes Ziegenbrätchen
that I would be like dried up piece of roast goat." snip....

Yep; bringing it back to backyard agriculture! roast goat! (See link for the entire cantata!)

Madonna did a remake of that with, ‘Papa Don’t Preach.’

Yes, Coffee loves me.
Yes, Coffee loves me.
Yes, Coffee loves me,
Juan Valdez told me so. :)
