Lyrics and translation Barry Manilow - Copacabana (Home Cassette of Composing the Song)




Copacabana (Home Cassette of Composing the Song)
Copacabana (Home Cassette of Composing the Song)
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
Elle s'appelait Lola, c'était une danseuse
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
Avec des plumes jaunes dans ses cheveux et une robe coupée jusqu'en bas
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
Elle dansait le merengue et la cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Et pendant qu'elle essayait d'être une star
Tony always tended bar
Tony servait toujours au bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
A travers la salle bondée, ils travaillaient de huit à quatre
They were young and they had each other
Ils étaient jeunes et ils s'avaient l'un l'autre
Who could ask for more?
Qui pouvait demander plus ?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
Au Copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
L'endroit le plus chaud au nord de La Havane (ici)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Au Copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
At the copa they fell in love
Au Copa, ils sont tombés amoureux
Copa, Copacabana
Copa, Copacabana
His name was Rico
Il s'appelait Rico
He wore a diamond
Il portait un diamant
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
Il a été escorté à sa chaise, il a vu Lola danser là-bas
And when she finished, he called her over
Et quand elle a fini, il l'a appelée
But Rico went a bit to far
Mais Rico est allé un peu trop loin
Tony sailed across the bar
Tony a traversé le bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
Et puis les coups ont volé et les chaises ont été brisées en deux
There was blood and a single gun shot
Il y avait du sang et un seul coup de feu
But just who shot who?
Mais qui a tiré sur qui ?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
Au Copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
L'endroit le plus chaud au nord de La Havane (ici)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Au Copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
At the copa, she lost her love
Au Copa, elle a perdu son amour
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)like in Havana
(Copa, Copacabana) comme à La Havane
(Copa, banana)
(Copa, banane)
Music and passion were always in fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
Elle s'appelait Lola, c'était une danseuse
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Mais c'était il y a trente ans, quand ils avaient un spectacle
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Maintenant c'est une discothèque, mais pas pour Lola
Still in dress she used to wear
Toujours dans la robe qu'elle portait
Faded feathers in her hair
Des plumes fanées dans ses cheveux
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
Elle s'assoit là, si raffinée, et se saoule à moitié
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Elle a perdu sa jeunesse et elle a perdu son Tony
Now she's lost her mind
Maintenant, elle a perdu la tête
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
Au Copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
L'endroit le plus chaud au nord de La Havane (ici)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Au Copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
At the copa don't fall in love
Au Copa, ne tombe pas amoureuse
(Copa, Copacabana) don't fall in love
(Copa, Copacabana) ne tombe pas amoureuse
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
