We'd drive to the river
Kami akan berkendara ke sungai
She'd dance on the levee
Dia akan menari di tepi sungai
Like it was her stage
Seolah itu adalah panggungnya
My ballerina, shined in the bright lights
Ballerina ku, bersinar di bawah cahaya terang
Of my Chevrolet
Dari Chevrolet ku
We used to laugh about that
Kami biasa tertawa tentang itu
But deep down I knew that she had
Tapi di dalam hati, aku tahu dia punya

Dreams of a dancer
Mimpi seorang penari
Spinnin' round in her head
Berdansa di dalam pikirannya
I never asked her
Aku tak pernah menanyakannya
And she never said
Dan dia tak pernah bilang
Where they would lead her
Kemana mimpi itu akan membawanya
I didn't wanna know
Aku tak ingin tahu
I just held on tight
Aku hanya berpegangan erat
Till she let go
Sampai dia melepaskan
The music called
Musik memanggil
She had to answer
Dia harus menjawab
The dream of a dancer
Mimpi seorang penari

One night on the levee
Suatu malam di tepi sungai
We watched the stars
Kami melihat bintang-bintang
Till they disappeared
Sampai mereka menghilang
Softly she swayed
Dengan lembut dia bergoyang
To a distant song
Pada lagu yang jauh
Only she could hear
Hanya dia yang bisa mendengarnya
She kissed me then whispered good-bye
Dia menciumku lalu membisikkan selamat tinggal
And I saw through the tears in her eyes
Dan aku melihat air mata di matanya

Dreams of a dancer
Mimpi seorang penari
Spinnin' round in her head
Berdansa di dalam pikirannya
I never asked her
Aku tak pernah menanyakannya
And she never said
Dan dia tak pernah bilang
Where they would lead her
Kemana mimpi itu akan membawanya
I didn't wanna know
Aku tak ingin tahu
I just held on tight
Aku hanya berpegangan erat
Till she let go
Sampai dia melepaskan
The music called
Musik memanggil
She had to answer
Dia harus menjawab
The dream of a dancer
Mimpi seorang penari

Sometimes I go drivin' at night
Kadang aku berkendara di malam hari
Down by the river and I turn out the lights
Di tepi sungai dan mematikan lampu

Dreams of a dancer
Mimpi seorang penari
Spinnin' round in her head
Berdansa di dalam pikirannya
I never asked her
Aku tak pernah menanyakannya
And she never said
Dan dia tak pernah bilang
Where they would lead her
Kemana mimpi itu akan membawanya
I didn't wanna know
Aku tak ingin tahu
I just held on tight
Aku hanya berpegangan erat
Till she let go
Sampai dia melepaskan
The music called
Musik memanggil
She had to answer
Dia harus menjawab
The dream of a dancer
Mimpi seorang penari
