Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there at Copacabana
A Capocabana la donna è regina
At Copacabana, the woman is a queen
La donna è sovrana
The woman is sovereign
Son tutte dei fragili fior
They're all fragile flowers
Profumano tutte d'amor
They all smell of love
E come ti sanno baciar, sanno baciar
And how they know how to kiss you, how to kiss
Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there at Copacabana
A Capocabana le notti di luna
At Copacabana, the moonlit nights
La donna che t'ama
The woman who loves you
Ti bacia, ti prende, ti accende, ti stringe
Kisses you, takes you, ignites you, holds you tight
T'infiamma d'amore così
You ignite with love like this
Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there in Copacabana
Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there in Copacabana
Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there in Copacabana
A Capocabana la donna è regina
In Copacabana, the woman is queen
La donna è sovrana
The woman is sovereign
Son tutte dei fragili fior
They are all fragile flowers
Profumano tutte d'amor
They all smell of love
E come ti sanno baciar
And how they know how to kiss you
Sanno baciar
They know how to kiss
Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there in Copacabana
A Capocabana le notti di luna
In Copacabana the moonlit nights
La donna che t'ama
The woman who loves you
Ti bacia, ti prende, ti accende, ti stringe
Kisses you, holds you, ignites you, embraces you
T'infiamma d'amore così
Sets your heart on fire like this
Laggiù a Capocabana
Down there in Copacabana
(A Capocabana) ti rubano il cuor
(In Copacabana) they steal your heart
(A Capocabana) si vive d'amor
(In Copacabana) you live for love
