WATCH: Local boy sings Maltese version of The Greatest Showman hit ‘A Million Dreams’
“Miljun ta’ holm imqajjem lili jzomm!”

Jillian Mallia

Back in 2017, The Greatest Showman was a hit in the movie world, bringing to life the magic that comes with performing, following dreams and pursuing them regardless of what it takes. The second song on the soundtrack (can you tell I’m obsessed?), A Million Dreams became one of the most popular songs covered and used in performances, ads, you name it.

This Maltese kid did the same thing, but not in the way you might expect. The adorable Lior Schembri sang a Maltese-translated snippet version of the hit song, Miljun Holm, translated in Maltese. In a video posted on social media, he twirls around, bringing out the passion, against a gorgeous background of one of Malta's grand churches. The adorable kid even dressed up as the showman, coat and all! 

Watch his performance here:
