Primaballerina [English translation]

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Little porcelain figurine, why are you alone?

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

You dance on your musical clock

And must always be lonely

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Primaballerina, music is your world

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Turn to the chimes

You only feel lucky when you dance

You look pretty in your white dress

You have to pirouette, but never in a pair

Tell me, does your heart cry

When the nightingale sings a song for her lover?

Lalala... lalalala lalala...

Tell me, does your heart cry

When the nightingale sings a song for her lover?

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Little porcelain figurine, you have never laughed

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Who cast a spell on you and brought you to fairytale land?

You look pretty in your white dress

You have to pirouette, but never in a pair

Tell me, don't you cry

When the moon lights up the lovers' smiles?

Lalala... lalalala lalala...

Tell me, don't you cry

When the moon lights up the lovers' smiles?

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Everything beautiful in this world fades away eventually

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Little porcelain figurine, you'll never understand that

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Primaballerina, once your happiness will break in two

Primaballerina, Primaballerina

Primaballerina, and then the dance is over
