Copacabana 市位於巴西裏約熱內盧南邊的壹個區,以它延長4km的海灘而出名。這也是世界上最出名的海灘之壹。"Copacabana"是 1979年的歌,由Barry Manilow 作曲演唱,Jack Feldman, Barry Manilow,和Bruce Sussman作詞. 2005年法國歌手Amanda Lear依法語翻唱了這首歌作為單曲發布。每當聽到熟悉的COPACABANA.--令人振奮和激情的new musical,關於愛與浪漫的故事,心臟擺動夜總會現場的1940年。
從這個充滿異國風味,遙遠的新的世界,老式的愛情,嫉妒,和謀殺案,案中糾纏的生命,洛拉,托尼和裏科各自展開中,令人眼花繚亂的服裝,壯觀的集和煽情的舞蹈、鮮血和槍傷。
這首copacabana是Barry Manilow的代表作之壹,雖然優美輕快,但歌詞講述的卻是壹個令人心碎的愛情故事。
歌詞:
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
她的名子叫Lola,她曾經是名歌舞女郎
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
頭上紮著黃色的羽毛穿著壹身舞服美過壹切
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
她跳過梅倫格舞(海地和多米尼加的壹種交際舞)還會恰恰
But while she tried to be a star
但是她卻嘗試成為壹個明星
Tony always tended bar

Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
