The ballrooms of Versailles…
Like dragons riding high,
We dance the nights away.
Life is glam and gay!
Fountains cry tokai
At ballrooms of Versailles,
The gardens where we play,
The queen has gone astray.
«Salute, Czar Nicolai!»
The night, the party died
At ballrooms of Versailles.
«Hail, Knight in shining armor
The emperior’s decree!»
The clock strikes midnight hour.
Arrive from gay Paris,
A world of games and duels
And secret go-betweens!
Throw marks or pounds or rubels,
Pay life to share the scene.
The ballrooms of Versailles…
Like dragons riding high,
We dance the nights away.
Life is glam and gay!
Fountains cry tokai.
At ballrooms of Versailles,
The gardens where we play,
The queen has gone astray.
«Salute, Czar Nicolai!»
The night, the party died
At ballrooms of Versailles.
A court of fallen angels
Below the guillotine,
Betrayed by nightly rangers,
Doomed unforgiven sin.
The struggle of the classes,
The birth of bourgeoisie…
Beheaded by the masses,
By God that queen was me.
The ballrooms of Versailles…
Like dragons riding high,
We dance the nights away.
Life is glam and gay!
Fountains cry tokai.
At ballrooms of Versailles,
The gardens where we play,
The queen has gone astray.
«Salute, Czar Nicolai!»
The night, the party died
At ballrooms of Versailles.
