There's an obsessed dancer in my home
Her name is Tina
In the latter years of her life
She fell deeply in love with it
Ballet ballet
The pointe shoes are worn out
Ankles are marked red by the tape
Spinning until dizzy
Bruises show color under the dance music
Ballet ballet
In front of the mirror your body is tired but your eyes are determined
The soft sound of landing after a jump
Arms still trace a graceful arc
No matter when
Tina on the stage
Interprets ballet with elegance
Even if knees once trembled in the dark
Feet swollen and red shedding tears of happiness
Maybe this is a ballet dancer's love
Maybe this is a ballet dancer's life
Ballet ballet
Tina spins without stopping
Toes twirl dancing lightly
Ballet ballet
Tina jumps and takes a deep breath
Never willing to say goodbye
Ballet ballet
Tina takes a bow showing graceful postures
Sweat from hard training adorns her smile
Ballet ballet
Glory rests on Tina's chest
Life is so vibrant here
No matter when
Tina on the stage
Interprets ballet with elegance
Even if knees once trembled in the dark
Feet swollen and red shedding tears of happiness
Maybe this is a ballet dancer's love
Maybe this is a ballet dancer's life
Ballet ballet
Tina spins without stopping
Toes twirl dancing lightly
Ballet ballet
Tina jumps and takes a deep breath
Never willing to say goodbye
Ballet ballet
Tina takes a bow showing graceful postures
Sweat from hard training adorns her smile
Ballet ballet
Glory rests on Tina's chest
Life is so vibrant here
No matter when
Tina takes a bow showing graceful postures
Sweat from hard training adorns her smile
Ballet ballet
