Copa Cabana
A short song, in three and half minutes, tells the story of Lola's life with a bright melody. There are joys and sorrows, ups and downs. Love burns and extinguishes. There is career in brilliant and fade.
Reflect at the stage of my life, it also rushes past like that!
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 8 'til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa, Copacabana
(Co-Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana
(Here)
At the Copa, Copacabana
(Co)
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 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?
At the Copa, Copacabana
(Co-Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana
(Here)
At the Copa, Copacabana
(Co)
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, she lost her love
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
At the Copa, Copacabana
(Co-Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana
(Here)
At the Copa, Copacabana
(Co)
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, don't fall in love, don't fall in love
Copacabana (At the Copa)
Mandy
Maybe you haven't lost or missed a friend, such as Mandy, who once loved you deeply.
But there must be a mother who will give you unconditionally love. Let you find comfort and warmth in the night of frustrated and sad .
If you find the true love in the heaven, this is even more comfort and peace eternally!
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man, a face through a window
Cryin' in the night, the night goes into mornin'
Just another day
Happy people pass my way
Lookin' in their eyes, I see a memory
I never realized, you made me so happy
Oh Brand, oops
Well, you came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbin'
The tears are on my mind and nothin' is rhymin'
Oh Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream, I face the mornin'
Cryin' on the breeze, the pain is callin'
Oh Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you today, oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Mandy
