Put on your stage makeup...
Dance, blessed girl!
Put on your stage makeup...
Dance, blessed girl!
With your beautiful, radiant face,
From now on, the time is all yours!
The world will celebrate
And lift you high with pride!
Covering your eyes,
Closing your ears,
The habit of living that way—
Throw it all away!
Clap your hands
With bold confidence,
Just like a queen,
Stand tall and speak out!
Every single obstacle,
Kick it far away!
They will say a woman cannot do it,
But that is just a myth!
With many watchful eyes
Looking on to judge you,
To each and every one of them,
You give your answer!
Come, step onto the stage,
My precious darling!
Put on your stage makeup,
Dance, blessed girl!
With your beautiful, radiant face,
From now on, the time is all yours!
The world will celebrate
And lift you high with pride!
The seed that was planted
Will sprout and rise,
Keep that faith
Strong inside your heart!
Brand new
Friendships will arrive,
Holding your hand
Together every day!
Many opportunities
Will come searching for you,
On television screens,
Your interviews will appear,
Oh, from all directions,
With endless good wishes,
My whole heart
Will bless you!
Come, step onto the stage,
My precious darling...
