| Once there was a ballerina
| Había una vez una bailarina
|
| Where she came from no one knew
| De dónde venía nadie sabía
|
| People called her Caterina
| La gente la llamaba Caterina.
|
| Only I knew that wasn t true
| Solo yo sabia que eso no era cierto
|
| When I first saw Caterina
| Cuando vi por primera vez a Caterina
|
| She was only seventeen
| ella solo tenia diecisiete
|
| Just a lovely ballerina
| Solo una bailarina encantadora
|
| Nor a princess nor a queen
| Ni una princesa ni una reina
|
| She would dance away the hours
| Ella bailaría las horas
|
| She was living in a dream
| Ella estaba viviendo en un sueño
|
| All the princes brought her flowers
| Todos los príncipes le trajeron flores.
|
| Even though she was no queen
| Aunque ella no era una reina
|
| And all the people came
| Y toda la gente vino
|
| From every corner of the world
| De todos los rincones del mundo
|
| To see her
| Para verla
|
| And when they saw her dancing
| Y cuando la vieron bailar
|
| They would call encore, Caterina
| Llamarían bis, Caterina
|
| And all the people still remember
| Y toda la gente todavía recuerda
|
| How they loved the ballerina
| Como amaban a la bailarina
|
| She lived the music when she danced
| Vivía la música cuando bailaba
|
| She loved but there was no romance
| Ella amaba pero no había romance
|
| She left a song called Caterina
| Dejó una canción llamada Caterina
|
| She would dance away the hours
| Ella bailaría las horas
|
| She was living in a dream
| Ella estaba viviendo en un sueño
|
| All the princes brought her flowers
| Todos los príncipes le trajeron flores.
|
| Even though she was no queen
| Aunque ella no era una reina
|
