Press release
Belteleradiocompany was responsible for selecting a performer and song for the contest on behalf of Belarus as a member of the EBU, the organizer of the event. It was owing to the young talent show Constellation of Hopes shown on the Belarusian television that it was possible to select the most promising and aspiring young artist - Volha Satsuk.
The terms and conditions of the Eurovision children’s contest are quite complicated because participating states are not only to furbish a singer, but also to have him/her sing …another child’s song! It means whoever writes this song is not a professional aged under 15.
"We had our difficulties there quite obviously. It is one thing to book a solid professional to write a song, but finding a peer capable of putting together nice lyrics was a pretty tall order, - Executive Producer L.A.Borodina says. - We are lucky to have a TV contest Constellation of Hopes which gives us the opportunity to select from among talented and versatile kids. One of the participants who could be nominated to the Eurovision contest was Katsiaryna Lipouskaya from the village of Kozlovichi, Slutsk District, who sang her own song. But she is turning 16 this October and the country is always better off presenting someone younger than that…".
The rules of the contest are actually fairly democratic and considerate to child composers. Both a composer and performer are invited to Copenhagen and both of them are to be on stage during the performance. Katsiaryna Lipouskaya will play the keyboard during our number.
So, turn on the First National TV Channel on November 15, 2003, to watch the Belarusian girl duo trying their best at a prestigious international contest and, of course, don’t forget to root for them!

(English version)
Once again you are sad… Where are you, friends of mine?!
It’s so sad in my home, outdoors not so fine!
Well, and what? Drive the sadness away
Take the star in the hands and let’s dance all the way.
REFRAIN:
Let’s dance o - woo - o! Let’s dance, yo-ho - ho!
Free your head from the sad thoughts!
Dance all the night, dance all the day
And I will help you in your life’s way!
All the same, life is fine, life is given but once
Joy is life’s greatest gift, this is life, so let’s dance!
Don’t forget it, my friend, don’t betray this romance
Take the star in the hands once again and let’s dance!
Look, don’t stay, be so happy and glad
Other people are sad, but not you, don’t be sad!
To the left, to the right, up and down you can go
Jump and turn, look around, be so happy to row!
Look, don’t stay, be so happy and glad!
Other people are sad, but not you, don’t be sad!
REFRAIN:
Let’s dance o - woo - o! Let’s dance, yo-ho - ho!
Free your head from the sad thoughts!
Dance all the night, dance all the day
And I will help you in your life’s way!
