You may no longer be a young girl
Maybe less naive
And the path to your heart
Is through your soul.

You count another year
And already half a century has passed
Between laughter and tears
The cup that is half-full

So, onwards, onwards, onwards...

Chorus :
Like a boat breaking up among the waves
Sails on through a thousand obstacles
Sometimes you are down, sometimes you are up
Further on, always, towards the horizon  

You may be a little tired
And your smile has gone
But through your shining tears
You give birth to hope

Who else but you could
Rise up from the dust
On a long, single-minded journey
Seeking a vision of tomorrow

So, onwards, onwards, onwards...

Chorus...  

You are not the same young girl
Counting another year
Searching your way
Out of faith

When the sun shines once more
And another bright star appears
Your heart will open up anew
And a song will rise from within

So, onwards, onwards, onwards...

Chorus...
