Charming lyrics

[HÉLÈNE]

Oh my enchantress

Oh you beautiful thing

Charming, charming

Oh, 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 about 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 le 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

Such a shame to bury pearls in the country

Charmante, charmante, charming

[NATASHA]

What once seemed so terrible

Now seems simple and natural

She knows that I’m engaged

And still she talks so frankly

So it must be all right!

[HÉLÈNE]

There is a ball at my house tonight

You must come

Oh your wide-open, wondering eyes!

You will be the prettiest there!

How the thought of throwing them together amuses me!

You must come

[NATASHA]

I will come
