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

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!
