On his birthday
\nA happy birthday to you, my heart beat!
\nMay love and laughter light your every day!
\nMay peace and wisdom bless your every way,
\nand may you never steal, or lie, or cheat!<\/p>\n

Your eyes are filled with playful, candid light,
\nand Night, from your hair, shiny colours borrows,
\nand your soul pledged to Fate solemn and tight
\nto be forever honest, true to heart,
\nso\u00a0 if you must steal, steal away my sorrows.<\/p>\n

And every day we grow older together,
\nwe change with age but Time we shall defeat
\nand we shall be eternal wind and feather,
\nand never shall we lose our faith and wit
\nfor if you must lie, lie with me my sweet.<\/p>\n

A year from now you\u2019ll read these words again
\nand you will wish: may the birthday that follows
\nbring other songs but always same refrain:
\nbe always my Spring, my Green, my Crane!
\nAnd if you must cheat, cheat all Death\u2019s tomorrows!<\/p>\n

May you never steal, or lie, or cheat,
\nbut if you must steal, steal away my sorrows,
\nand if you must lie, lie with me, my sweet,
\nand if you must cheat, cheat all Death\u2019s tomorrows,
\nfor, without you, my soul feels incomplete.<\/p>\n
