Copacabana [French version] lyrics

Elle s'appelait Lola, elle était Show Girl

Avec ses plumes et son chapeau

Sa robe fendue de bas en haut

Elle dansait chantait

Cha-cha meringué

Quand elle rêvait d'être une star

Tony tenait le bar

Sur la piste bondée, Lola se déchaînait

Ils s'aimaient tellement tous les deux

Qu'ils étaient heureux

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 the crowded floor, they worked from eight 'til four

They were young and they had each other

Who could ask for more?

Là au Copa Copacabana

Le coin le plus chaud

de La Havana

Là au Copa Copacabana

Passion et musique ce sont des mots magiques

Là au Copa

Comme ils s'aimaient

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 au Copa Copacabana

Le coin le plus chaud

de La Havana

Là au Copa Copacabana

Passion et musique ce sont des mots magiques

Là au Copa

Comme ils s'aimaient

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl

But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have 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, and drinks herself half-blind

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony

Now she's lost her mind

Là au Copa Copacabana

Le coin le plus chaud

de La Havana

Là au Copa Copacabana

Passion et musique ce sont des mots magiques

Là au Copa

Comme ils s'aimaient
