A night in Tunisia / Penso positivo / Copacabana [At the Copa] lyrics

The moon is the same moon above you

Aglow with its cool evening light

But shining at night in Tunisia

Never does it shine so bright

The stars are aglow in the heavens

But only the wise understand

That shining at night in Tunisia

They guide you through the desert sand

Words fail to tell a tale

Too exotic to be told

Each night's a deeper night

In a world ages old

Positivo!

Io penso positivo perché son vivo

Perché son vivo

Io penso positivo perché son vivo

E finché son vivo

Niente e nessuno al mondo

Potrà fermarmi dal ragionare

Niente e nessuno al mondo

Potrà fermare, fermare, fermare

Fermare quest'onda che va

Quest'onda che viene e che va

Quest'onda che va

Quest'onda che viene e che va

Io penso positivo

Ma non vuol dire che non ci vedo

Io penso positivo...

In quanto credo!

Io penso positivo perché son vivo

Perché son vivo

Io penso positivo perché son vivo

Perché son vivo

Non credo ai fraterni abbracci

Che si confondon con le catene

Io credo soltanto che

Tra il bene e il male

È più forte il bene

... bene, bene, bene, bene...

... bene, bene, bene, bene...

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there

She would merengue and do the cha-cha

And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar

Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4

They were young and they had each other

Who could ask for more?

At the Copa, Copacabana

The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa, Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa....they fell in love

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond

He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' 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?

At the Copa, Copacabana

The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa, Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa....they fell in love

The moon is the same moon above you

Aglow with its cool evening light

But shining at night in Tunisia

Never does it shine so bright

The stars are aglow in the heavens

But only the wise understand

That shining at night in Tunisia

They guide you through the desert sand

Words fail to tell a tale

Too exotic to be told

Each night's a deeper night

In a world ages old

The moon is the same moon above you

Aglow with its cool evening light

But shining at night in Tunisia

Never does it shine so bright
