Baby Malaiká, Happy Birthday

[Verse 1]
Malaiká, I’ll never forget the day you came to me,
An angel in my arms, looking up so quietly.
You couldn’t speak, but your eyes said everything,
Now you call, “Come talk with me,” and my heart begins to sing.

[Chorus]
Baby Malaiká, happy birthday, my love,
Happy birthday, my beautiful girl, sent from above.
Many years of life, may your joy always stay,
My sweet girl of my heart, celebrate today!

[Verse 2]
Maria Filomena, you grow with every new day,
On the phone we talk for hours, with so much to say.
Sister to Alice and mana Jú, our family’s delight,
With Mama Estefânia loving you day and night.

[Bridge]
May my God protect you wherever you may be,
Keep your heart full of laughter, safe and free.
You’ll always be my baby, my love shining through—
Happy birthday, Malaiká; I thank God for you.

[Outro]
Parabéns, my baby, many years of life—amen.
I love you more than words can ever say.
