HÉLÈNE: Oh my enchantress Oh you beautiful thing Charming, charming No, this is really beyond anything These dresses suit you This one, “metallic gauze” Straight from Paris Anything suits you, my charmer
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty! Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty! Charmante, charmante! You are such a lovely thing
Oh where have you been It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, charming
Now if you have a dress You must wear it out How can you live in Moscow and not go nowhere? So you love somebody, charming But that’s no reason to shut yourself in Even if you’re engaged You must wear your dress out somewhere
My brother dined with me yesterday But he didn’t eat a thing Cuz he was thinking ‘bout you He kept sighing ‘bout you
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty! Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty! Charmante, charmante! You are such a lovely thing
Oh where have you been It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, charming
Now a woman with a dress
Is a frightening and powerful thing You are not a child When you’re draped in scarlet and lace Your fiancé would want you to have fun Rather than be bored to death
Alliez dans la monde Plutôt que de dépérir d’ennui!
My brother is quite madly in love He is quite madly in love with you, my dear
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty! Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty! Charmante, charmante! You are such a lovely thing
Oh where have you been It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, charming It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, charming It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, charming
