華恋 • ひかり • まひる • クロディーヌ • 真矢 • 純那 • なな • 双葉 • 香子

シャンと背筋を伸ばして　凛と目線を上げて
今日も青空高く　果てしない
太陽のように眩しく　咲いた花に見習って
出会いのすべてに意味があるの

夢を振りまくのよ　夢を忘れないで
未来は未知数　さあ　カーテン開いて

私たちは舞台少女
生まれながら舞台少女
勇気乗せて指を伸ばし
優しく弧を描く

私たちは舞台少女
真ん中には常に愛を
希望なぞって足を前へ
揺らがないように
世界は私たちの　大きな舞台だから

きゅっと唇結んで　そうよ　不甲斐なくたって
ただ無駄に泣いたりはしない
理想どおりの自分に　まだ届かなくても
昨日よりはぐっと近づいている

進化し続けるの　そっと見守ってね
悔しさ後悔　その全てが　ねぇきっと糧になる　明日の

私たちは舞台少女
未完成の舞台少女
どんなときも胸を張るの
凛々しくなれるから

私たちは舞台少女
口元にはいつも笑みを
星を映した瞳あげて
朗らかに歌おう
世界は私たちの　大きな舞台だから

さあ　飛び立とう　この大空

私たちは舞台少女
生まれながら舞台少女
勇気乗せて指を伸ばし
優しく弧を描く

私たちは舞台少女
未完成の舞台少女
どんなときも胸を張るの
凛々しくなれるから

私たちは舞台少女
真ん中には常に愛を
希望なぞって足を前へ
揺らがないように
世界は私たちを　ずっと待っていたの
世界は私たちの　大きな舞台だから

Lift your gaze up proudly as you straighten your back
The blue sky up above is also boundless today
Be as dazzling as the sun, just like the blooming flowers
There's a meaning to every encounter in life

Scatter your dream about, don't forget about your dream
The future holds endless possibilities, so let the curtains rise

We are stage girls
We were born stage girls
Gather your courage,
Stretch out your fingers, and smile gently

We are stage girls
By always putting love first and foremost,
We steadily follow our hopes without wavering
Because the world is our big stage

Keep your lips pursed tightly however hard it might be
So you won't cry in vain
Even if we still aren't our ideal selves,
We're definitely closer than we were yesterday

We will keep on growing, so please watch over us
Every frustration and regret will surely encourage us tomorrow

We are stage girls
Incomplete stage girls
We hold our heads up with pride
So we can become braver

We are stage girls
There is always a smile on our lips
Let's raise our eyes that reflect the stars
And sing cheerfully
Because the world is our big stage

Come on, let's leap into this wide open sky

We are stage girls
We were born stage girls
Gather your courage,
Stretch out your fingers, and smile gently

We are stage girls
Incomplete stage girls
We hold our heads up with pride
So we can become braver

We are stage girls
By always putting love first and foremost,
We steadily follow our hopes without wavering
Because the world had surely been waiting for us

Because the world is our big stage
