- Pretty Ballerina Lyrics / with translationsI had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No not at all
I called her yesterday it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No not at all
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within says
"Go ahead and find her, just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and she'll be there"
She'll be there, she'll be there
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No not at all
I called her yesterday it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No not at all
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within says
"Go ahead and find her, just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and she'll be there"
She'll be there, she'll be there

When we think about the meaning behind each verse, the Left Banke's 'Pretty Ballerina' is about a man crazily in love with a dancer who, at the same time, is not very much an angel, as he thinks, but rather just a human with the same feelings since he has been surprised by her kindness and beauty. The words of the song express fear of being left behind or missing out on something important through a metaphor of a moving mountain, while the mention of rain conveys a feeling of longing and hope to find the ballerina, even if it is difficult. The Pretty ballerina lyrics mainly highlight love, joy, reflection, hope, and angst. Simultaneously, the song shows the dichotomy of love and yearning, surprise and acceptance, and hope and quest.
