The song "Café" by the Gipsy Kings is a playful and rhythmic track that describes the singer's desire to have a simple cup of coffee with someone they love. The lyrics are filled with references to a "gitana" (gypsy) and the repeated line "Un café contigo solamente" meaning "Just a coffee with you alone." The singer expresses their longing for money in order to afford a cup of coffee. However, it becomes clear that the reference to money is actually metaphorical, representing the desire to have a meaningful connection with the person they are singing to. The lyrics "Yo quiero solamente un dinero" can be interpreted as the singer's desire for a real and genuine connection rather than material wealth. The chorus repeats the line "Dame un poquito poquito de café, con un poquito poquito de tu amor" which translates to "Give me a little bit, little bit of coffee, with a little bit, little bit of your love." This highlights the theme of wanting a small and simple gesture of affection from the loved one, comparing it to the comforting and energizing effect of a cup of coffee. Overall, the song conveys a lighthearted and joyful message, celebrating the desire for a simple and meaningful connection with someone special. The "gitana" in the lyrics represents a sense of wanderlust and freedom, emphasizing the gypsy spirit of the Gipsy Kings.
