My name is Maria, the world will see me now,
At my command, the whole world will bow.
My name is Maria, the world will witness my might,
At my gestures, the whole world will take flight.
I will dance, and I will make them dance, too,
No longer shy, the innocent Maria, anew.
I will dance, and I will make them dance, as one,
No longer shy, that sweet Maria is gone.
My image in books, the pages alight,
My gathering in stars, a celestial night.
Your age will be left far behind,
The heavens our own, beneath our mind.
A rising, gleaming star for the world to behold,
I will dance, and I will make them dance, bold.
No longer shy, the innocent Maria, no,
My name is Maria, the world will see me glow,
At my command, the whole world will flow.
I will dance, and I will make them dance with me,
No longer shy, that sweet Maria, now free.
Sometimes Laila, sometimes the Rani of Jhansi I seem,
A flowing, twisting river, a passionate dream.
No storm can restrain, no force can bind,
What others think, I leave it behind.
A rising, gleaming star for the world to view,
I will dance, and I will make them dance, too.
No longer shy, the innocent Maria, true,
My name is Maria, the world will see my hue,
At my command, the whole world will imbue.
I will dance, and I will make them dance, it's true,
No longer shy, that sweet Maria, shining through.
