happy birthday

it is a day like any other
but a new dawn is awakening,
the morning light illuminates the trees
painting delicate clouds
on the sheets,
life yawns and arises,
happy birthday my love.

the timid sun appears in the window
and breakfast is ready,
the shower and the good mornings,
the curtain is pulled back
and your eyes shine upon me,
happy birthday my love.

the front door opens up
and the first sounds come in,
watches tick away the seconds
and the to-do list
waits near the doorway,
the sidewalk greets the passers-by
and the street awakens,
happy birthday my love.

life can be the same
but today your smile is special,
one year goes by
another will come,
today your glance is a star
that flutters above the sea,
your month has arrived
and we offer you colors,
your date is here
and we offer you songs,
your day has come
and my love awaits you.

happy birthday my life,
happy birthday my love.
