In Ballet it is actually means 'To Pointe' it can either be to the back front or side in a combination.

Tendu actually means "stretched". It makes sense if you understand the group it belongs to.

The tendu is part of a family of movements called "battements", or beatings, where you "beat" the working leg against the supporting leg. In Battement tendu( to the front for example) you push the heel forward until the foot slides as far away from you as possible without letting the toe ever leaving the floor. It stretches the leg and this makes the foot fully pointed (saying "to point" can be misleading because people will pick up their foot and point/poke the toe down which is the wrong action). Other battements are: degage which "disengages" from the floor. and a Grand battement is a large beating of the leg. There are more to this group, but the key is that these three all leave the floor through a pointed foot as you move your working foot down and away from you.

it is a sort of humorous song when you are leaving the table, having eaten and drink a lot. 'la peau du ventre' is the belly's skin which is said to be distended by the meal. It could be translated as "I ate well, I drank well, my belly's full, thank you Lord"


What is the correct translation of lucky bird into French?

The literal translation, like for the iPhone game, is "oiseau chanceux", which does not mean anything really in French. The translation of the expression "lucky bird" meaning a bird (and by extension, a person) with its belly full, does not exist. There are however several adjectives or expressions to describe this physiological state, but I don't know if this is what you want. Here are some: repu, rassasié, avoir le ventre plein, or from a famous song, avoir la peau du ventre bien tendue.
