Rest your palm on your heart
Feel Mamu in that special spot
Whispering a birthday cheer
Miles away, but no way apart.
Happy birthday, dear Martin
Found your “seat” in OUR park
In freezing weather & icy rain
Don’t let distance be a pain.
Have a good celebration,
Eat my share, as if I was there
I’d have a copa, perhaps a rioja
And raise my glass to cheer ‘ya
We’d pass the same places here
I bet lingering far longer
It’s a girl thing you know
To pause and pose in the snow.
Pretty soon we’d hit the beach
Sandy feet, with a tent to pitch
We’d let the sun kiss our skin
Toasted, y’know what I mean.
