Namanya Lola, dia adalah seorang gadis panggung
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
Dengan bulu kuning di rambutnya dan gaun ditebang ke sana
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
Dia akan merengue dan melakukan cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Dan saat dia mencoba menjadi bintang, Tony selalu cenderung bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
Di seberang lantai yang penuh sesak, mereka bekerja dari pukul delapan sampai empat
They were young and they had each other
Mereka masih muda dan mereka saling memiliki
Who could ask for more?
Siapa yang bisa meminta lebih?
At the Copa, Copacabana
Di Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
Tempat terpanas di utara Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Di Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
Musik dan gairah selalu fashion
At the Copa …. they fell in love
Di Copa …. mereka jatuh cinta
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
Namanya Rico, dia memakai berlian
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin’ there
Dia dikawal ke kursinya, dia melihat Lola dancin ‘disana
And when she finished, he called her over
Dan saat dia selesai, dia memanggilnya
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
Tapi Rico melangkah terlalu jauh, Tony berlayar melintasi bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
Dan kemudian pukulan terbang dan kursi pecah menjadi dua
There was blood and a single gun shot
Ada darah dan satu tembakan senjata
But just who shot who?
Tapi siapa yang menembak siapa?
At the Copa, Copacabana
Di Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
Tempat terpanas di utara Havana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa …. she lost her love
Di Copa …. dia kehilangan cintanya
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
Namanya Lola, dia adalah seorang showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Tapi itu tiga puluh tahun yang lalu, saat mereka biasa mengadakan pertunjukan
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola
Sekarang ini disko, tapi bukan untuk Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
Masih dalam gaun yang biasa ia pakai, bulu pudar di rambutnya
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
Dia duduk di sana begitu halus, dan minum setengah buta
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Dia kehilangan masa mudanya dan dia kehilangan Tony
Now she’s lost her mind!
Sekarang dia tersesat!
At the Copa, Copacabana

At the Copa …. don’t fall in love
Di Copa …. jangan jatuh cinta
Don’t fall in love
Jangan jatuh cinta
