The Ball

Waiting at the door, waiting at the door, waiting

Waiting at the door, waiting at the door, waiting

How I adore little girls

They lose their heads at once

I am seized by feelings of vanity and fear

There is no barrier between us

Whispers and moans and ringing in my ear

There is no barrier between us

Divine, delicious

But I do not see or hear anything

I'm born away to a senseless world

So strange, so remote

I don't know good from bad

Anatole, Anatole, I'm so frightened

You are enchanting

And as we danced, he pressed

My waist and hand and told me I was

Bewitching

And I love you

Bewitching

And I love you

And during the ecossaise, he

Gazed in my eyes and said nothing, just

Gazed in my eyes, my frightened eyes

Such confident tenderness, I could not say what I had

To say

Don't lower your eyes

I love you

I am in love, dear, I am in love

Gaze in my eyes

I love you

You are bewitching

What can I do?

Darling, what can I do?

Don't say such things

I am betrothed

I love another

Don't speak to me of that

When I tell you that I am madly, madly

In love with you

Is it my fault that you're enchanting?

I'm so frightened

I don't understand anything tonight

I'm here now

Natalie?

I can feel your eyes upon me

Blocking her path

I bring her face close to mine

His large, glittering, masculine eyes

Are so close to mine

That I see nothing else

Is it possible that I should never see you again?

I love you madly, can I never?

Natalie?

You press my arm

Natalie?

You're hurting my hands

Natalie?

I don't understand

I have nothing to say

Burning lips pressed to mine

Tell me what just happened

I'm trembling

So frightening

Andrey

But I love you

Of that, there is no doubt

How else could all of this have happened?

How else could we have kissed?

It means that I have loved you from the first

It means that you are kind, noble, and splendid

And I could not help loving you

I will love you, Anatole

I'll do anything for you

I'll do anything for you
