The Lyrics
Coppélia”: 1870 French ballet by Charles Nuitter (libretto) and Léo Delibes (music)
Coppélia,
Coppélia.
Guys’ arms rise high in Coppélia.
Girls flyin’ up toward heaven,
lookin’ mighty fine.
Those dancers sure can leap…defy earth’s binds.
I am clearly seeing just how lithe are their spines.
I’m ecstatic at Coppélia time.
Tiptoein’.
Coppélia,
Coppélia.
Guys’ arms, big-sized for Coppélia.
Liftin’ up, zoom up on pointe, and then back down’.
Liftin’-up moves give a boost, then they’re back down.
Fine old sylph-twirls ballet.
Tonight I’m gonna be there, to witness the balloné.[1]
That’s because I’m an ecstatic dance fan…
love that dance!
When the girls jump, it’s awesome;
when they come down, guys have caught ’em.
It’s hard work, but they do it with élan.
They guys are flingin’
girl dancers,
girl prancers.
Their big arms hold high those dancers.
Lift ’em up; huge is the boost. Then they come down.
Lift ’em up; huge is the boost till they’re back down.
Nice, those tricky jetés.[2]
Fine, those slick assemblés.[3]
Tie those slippers. P/lié.[4]
