A thousand rainbows, a thousand festive decorations,
Is this really me...?
A thousand dances and a thousand songs,
Is this really me...?
Am I the fresh rain or the new sunshine?
Is this really me...?
Am I a fresh flower or a brand-new color?
Is this really me...?
From now on, there are no worries ever,
With these new wings, the sky is the only limit!
Every single day is pure happiness,
A new dawn is my homeland!
I am a singing skylark,
I am the modern woman,
I am a singing skylark,
I am the modern woman!
A thousand rainbows, a thousand festive decorations,
Is this really me...?
A thousand dances and a thousand songs,
Is this really me...?
I am the face I look for,
I am the sweet joy I sing of,
I am the dream turning into reality.
With the sky and the earth
as my companions from now on,
I will walk alongside them every day.
Footstep after footstep,
Aaaa... aa... aa... haa... aa... aa... aa...
I will follow my own path.
Enough is enough, from now on
my life is on its own terms,
filled with millions of joys!
A thousand rainbows, a thousand festive decorations,
Is this really me...?
A thousand dances and a thousand songs,
Is this really me...?
I am my own shelter,
I am the blessing I gave myself,
I am my very own light.
There are no more cages around me,
I will say it a hundred times,
this world is of my own making!
On the wings of my smile,
from now on, I will soar freely!
What more is there to say?
Tomorrow is waiting to be won,
this life I live belongs entirely to me!
A thousand rainbows, a thousand festive decorations,
Is this really me...?
A thousand dances and a thousand songs,
Is this really me...?
Am I the fresh rain or the new sunshine?
Is this really me...?
Am I a fresh flower or a brand-new color?
Is this really me...?
From now on, there are no worries ever,
With these new wings, the sky is the only limit!
Every single day is pure happiness,
A new dawn is my homeland!
I am a singing skylark,
I am the modern woman,
I am a singing skylark,
I am the modern woman!
