Once there was a ballerina Where she came from no one knew People called her Caterina Only I knew that wasn't true When I first saw Caterina She was only seventeen Just a lovely ballerina Nor a princess nor a queen
She would dance away the hours She was living in a dream All the princes brought her flowers Even though she was no queen
And all the people came From every corner of the world To see her And when they saw her dancing They would call encore, Caterina And all the people still remember How they loved the ballerina [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/joe-dolan-lyrics/caterina-ballerina-lyrics.html] She lived the music when she danced She loved but there was no romance She left a song called Caterina
She would dance away the hours She was living in a dream All the princes brought her flowers Even though she was no queen
And all the people came From every corner of the world To see her And when they saw her dancing They would call encore, Caterina And all the people still remember How they loved the ballerina She lived the music when she danced She loved but there was no romance She left a song called Caterina
