Ah what a ceremony,
For Grandpa and Grandma,
The whole family gathered
For their Diamond wedding anniversary
The champagne which sparkles,
Makes all the eyes sparkle
When a little girl,
Says laughing to the dear old couple:
[Chorus:]
Would you like to dance Grandma?
Would you like to waltz Grandpa?
Just like in the good old days,
When you were twenty years old.
To a tune that reminds you,
How beautiful life was.
For your anniversary,
Would you like to dance Grandma?
How immense is the joy,
We play on the gramophone*,
The record* of a romance,
With gentle and old-fashioned accents.
So forgetting their wrinkles*,
In memory of the past,
The two ancestors decide,*
And embrace one another to dance.
[Chorus] : (x3)
Would you like to dance Grandma?
Would you like to waltz Grandpa?
Just like in the good old days,
When you were twenty years old.
To a tune that reminds you,
How beautiful life was.
For your anniversary,
Would you like to dance Grandma?
