A Night in Tunisia/Penso positivo/Copacabana (At the Copa)
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
Io penso positivo
perché son vivo, perché son vivo.
Io penso positivo
perché son vivo, perché son vivo
e 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 male e il bene
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 the crowded floor
They worked from eight till four
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 I fall 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
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion
Were always the fashion
At the Copa I fall 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
Oddio!
