Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
My brother dined with me yesterday
But he didn't eat a thing
'Cause he was thinking 'bout you
He kept sighing about you
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
Allez 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country
Charmante, charmante, charming
What once seemed so terrible
Now seems simple and natural
She knows that I'm engaged
But still, she talks so frankly
So it must be alright
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
I will come
