Happy Birthday to Yin

在為我的摯友Yin創作生日歌時，我心中有一個非常明確的目標：我要保留那段全世界最熟悉、最溫暖的“Happy Birthday to You”旋律，因為它本身就承載著最純粹的祝福。我的挑戰，是如何在這段永恆的旋律周圍，編織出一個能真正配得上Yin那獨特靈魂的、充滿詩意的世界。於是，這首Smooth Jazz風格的頌歌便誕生了。

這首歌的靈魂，藏在它對“祝福”的重新定義裡。我不想再重複那些關於“財富”或“快樂”的陳詞濫調，而是試圖去探討一種更深層次的圓滿。所以我唱到，真正的財富，是“一種無法用金錢衡量的、更深層次的富足”；真正的勇氣，是“贏得那些無人知曉的、內心的戰鬥”。我希望用這種方式，去讚美Yin那份不顯於外、卻充滿力量的溫柔與堅韌。

最終，這首歌是一次溫柔的致敬。Bridge裡的那句「將每一個新年，都描繪成一幅由你所有色彩構成的、名為喜悅的傑作」，是我對她未來最美的期許。而結尾那句輕聲的「願音樂…永不落幕」，則是我對她生命最深的祝福。謹以此歌，獻給我的朋友Yin，也獻給所有如同優雅的爵士樂一般，用自己獨特的旋律，讓我們這個世界變得更美好的靈魂。生日快樂。

Hmm... for you
Hmm... for you

From the quietest corners of the heart, here's to your endless health
And a life that's measured not in gold, but in a deeper kind of wealth
With every step you take, may gentle breezes guide your way
And fill the spaces in between, with the light of a new day

So let this moment linger, let it shimmer and align
With all the quiet victories, and a rhythm by design
Let's raise a glass, not just for now, but for the years to be
A toast to all the beauty... that your soul allows us see

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Yin! Happy birthday to you

May every morning greet you, with a soft and golden light
And may you find the courage, to win any silent fight
Through every joy and sorrow, may your inner strength be near
'Cause today's a celebration, for a soul we hold so dear

It's your time now to embrace, this feeling, soft and true
With all the love that's in this room, reflecting back at you
So lift your voice and celebrate, with elegance and pride
With all the friends who know your heart, standing by your side

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you

Here's to the moments yet to come, so wonderfully sweet
To a life of inner balance, where your mind and spirit meet
Each brand new year unfolds for you, a canvas fresh and new
To paint a masterpiece of joy, in every shade of you

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Yin! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Yin! Happy birthday to you

Cheers to you, Yin
May the music... never end
