Lyrics and translation Barry Manilow - Copacabana




Copacabana
Copacabana
Her name was Lola
Elle s'appelait Lola
She was a showgirl
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 fendue jusqu'en bas
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
Elle dansait la merengue et le cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Et pendant qu'elle essayait d'être une star
Tony always tended bar
Tony tenait toujours le bar
Across the crowded floor
Sur la piste de danse bondée
They worked from eight 'til four
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 (copa) Copacabana
Au Copa (copa) Copacabana
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
L'endroit le plus chaud au nord de La Havane (ici)
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana
Au Copa (copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
At the Copa ...
Au Copa ...
They fell in love (copa)
Ils sont tombés amoureux (copa)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
His name was Rico
Il s'appelait Rico
He wore a diamond
Il portait un diamant
He was escorted to his chair
Il a été escorté à sa chaise
He saw Lola dancin' there
Il a vu Lola danser là-bas
And when she finished
Et quand elle a fini
He called her over (whistle)
Il l'a appelée (sifflement)
But Rico went a bit too far
Mais Rico est allé un peu trop loin
Tony sailed across the bar
Tony a traversé le bar
And then the punches flew
Et puis les coups ont volé
And chairs were smashed in two
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 (copa) Copacabana
Au Copa (copa) Copacabana
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
L'endroit le plus chaud au nord de La Havane (ici)
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana
Au Copa (copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
At the Copa (scream)
Au Copa (cri)
She lost her love
Elle a perdu son amour
(copa copacabana)
(copa copacabana)
(copa copacabana)
(copa copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(a-a-a-h-h-h...)
(a-a-a-h-h-h...)
(a-a-a-h-h-h...)
(a-a-a-h-h-h...)
(a-a-a-h-h-h...)
(a-a-a-h-h-h...)
(aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh)
(aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh)
(copa copacabana)
(copa copacabana)
(like in Havana)
(comme à La Havane)
(have a banana)
(prends une banane)
(music and passion)
(musique et passion)
(always the fashion)
(toujours à la mode)
Her name is Lola
Elle s'appelait Lola
She was a showgirl
C'était une danseuse
But that was thirty years ago
Mais c'était il y a trente ans
When they used to have a show
Quand ils avaient un spectacle
Now it's the disco
Maintenant, c'est la disco
But not for Lola
Mais pas pour Lola
Still in the 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 (copa) Copacabana
Au Copa (copa) Copacabana
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
L'endroit le plus chaud au nord de La Havane (ici)
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana
Au Copa (copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
La musique et la passion étaient toujours à la mode
At the Copa ...
Au Copa ...
Don't fall in love (copa)
Ne tombe pas amoureuse (copa)
Don't fall in love
Ne tombe pas amoureuse
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copa copacabana)
(copa copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
(copacabana)
