When I heard my name through the loudspeaker,
my ears listened keenly for your cheerful applause
When they presented me with honorable awards,
I searched for you in the audience like I was
seeking for a joyous swinging star in the galaxy
When the crowd brought me home on their shoulders like a hero,
my eyes again wandered;
where was my little dancing butterfly?
You taught me how to climb toward success fearlessly, step by step
You showed me victory through hard work and compassion
You said work with my enemies
and make them allies.
You told friendship beautifies life.
You are the winner – not me!
