The following is a funny commercial about Italian Espresso.
The america is actually speaking with a very thick ( fake) American accent. It maybe not the best choice to learn Italian
but it is a pleasent short video.


- Oh e' ciao Pietreo, Io grande progetto per questo tuo Paradiso.
> Per esempio ?
- Noi possiamo costruire Grandi alberghi, Casino', qui farete tutti parcheggi !
> Praticamente un inferno!
- Ma tu lascia perdere questa pizza e questo mandolino. Pietro, io anche portato un regalo per te da America. Finalmente grande caffe' Americano!
> Senti - A Dallas ! Voi sarete pure andati sulla Luna ma il caffe' lasciatecelo fa' a noi eh ! Vedi, America il caffe' se deve chiama' Lavazza, perche' ? Perche' dev'esse bono!
Questo e crema e gusto. Questo quando lo bevi dici "a quante' bono!" Il tuo quando lo bevi dici a "a qua.." E Basta, e' acqua. Che voi di!

Since moving to Italy I have wondered how Luca Laurenti has managed to make a career with a voice like that! No matter how hard I try I still cannot understand him.

Here's my attempt at translation.
Paolo, correct me wherever I am wrong


Oh e' ciao Pietreo, Io grande progetto per questo tuo Paradiso.
Hi Peter, I have a great project for this your Paradise.

> Per esempio ?
For example?

- Noi possiamo costruire Grandi alberghi, Casino', qui farete tutti parcheggi !
We can construct big hotels, casinos, and you can make all parking lots here.


> Praticamente un inferno!
Practically hell!

- Ma tu lascia perdere questa pizza e questo mandolino. Pietro, io anche portato un regalo per te da America. Finalmente grande caffe' Americano!
But you leave this pizza and this Mandolin. Peter, I also bought you a gift from America. Finally the great American Coffee!

> Senti - A Dallas ! Voi sarete pure andati sulla Luna ma il caffe' lasciatecelo fa' a noi eh ! Vedi, America il caffe' se deve chiama' Lavazza, perche' ? Perche' dev'esse bono!
Listen Dallas! You may have gone to the moon, but leave the coffee making to us eh! Look America, the coffee is called Lavazza, why? Because it has to be good!

Questo e' crema e gusto. Questo quando lo bevi dici "a quante' bono!"
This is cream and taste. When you drink this you will say " Wow! Terrific coffee!"

Il tuo quando lo bevi dici a "a qua.."
When you drink yours you will say "Wow Ter...."

E Basta, e' acqua. Che voi di!
That's it, it is WATER. Say what you want!

bubbles I hope you don't mind, but I would make a couple of changes, but more to keep the punchline...

I just edited ( inside ) Bubbles answer - sorry. I did not see Sardoman add on till now. I just noticed that Sardoman managed to make the final joke work in English as well. Cool !

Thanks, Paolo and Sardoman, for the corrections, and hope to see some more Youtubes like this soon

These are a great idea Paolo. Thanks also to the "translators"!

Has anyone actually tried that specific coffee in the video?

Hi
We've tried that coffee
In fact whenever we visit we have a ritual.
The coffee costs only a few centissimi but we always bring back quantities with us - it costs considerably more in England.
We're building up quite a collection - from Gusto Dolce through Gusto Classico to Gusto Forte.
We've even bought an espresso machine so we can get the authentic flavour - you are talking about Lavazza, right?
In Italy riots have broken out over less.
In England most people say "Get a life".
Then again in England most people don't feel the passion we have for italy

Lavazza is a divine coffee, though their ads make me nervous.
