Copacabana Songtext
von Amanda Lear

Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there
She would meringue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor
They worked from eight till four

They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

Là-haut Copacabana
Le coin le plus chaud d′la Havana
Là-haut Copacabana
Passion et musique, ce sont les mots magiques
Là-haut Copa...

His name was Rico
He wore a diamond


He was escorted to his chair
He saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished
He called her over

But Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

Là-haut Copacabana
Le coin le plus chaud d'la Havana
Là-haut Copacabana
Passion et musique, ce sont les mots magiques
Là-haut Copa...

Comme ils s′aimaient
Comme ils s'aimaient

Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl


But that was thirty years ago
When they used to do a show
Now it's a disco
But not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
She drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth, she lost her Tony
Now she′s lost her mind

Là-haut Copacabana
Le coin le plus chaud d′la Havana
Là-haut Copacabana
Passion et musique, ce sont les mots magiques
Là-haut Copa...

Don't fall in love
She′s lost her love
She's lost her mind
