忙乱的三月

整个三月,一篇都没写。

电脑没闲着,晚上一直开着下载音乐。耳朵也没闲着,一个人忙的时候还可以顺便筛选这些音乐文件。



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?

CHORUS:

At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
the hottest spot north of Havana (here)
at the copa (CO!) Copacabana
music and passion were always in 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?

REPEAT CHORUS

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 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

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa... don't fall in love
don't fall in love


这首歌是《Friends》第二季最后一集里,Rachel 去参加前夫 Barry 婚礼的时候唱的。那场婚礼,还有之前逃跑的那次,发生了一些事让她很糗。她记忆里更糗的一次就是在中学里全校同学面前唱这首 Copacabana ,唱到一半跑掉。可这次她坚持了下来。



第一季那个逃婚的女孩,经历了独自的社会生活,长大了。

出丑没啥了不起,脸皮厚点,坚持一下就是了。嘿嘿。
