With much love, on the eve of your REAL birthday (contrary to the earlier silly post from last week shown further below), Bambi would like to offer you Roula a song about the recipe of happiness by “Les Enfantastiques“. Yes indeed, in few hours in Beirut, it will be March 10. Finally, your real birthday :)!
Today happens to also be a day of celebrations at your end. If Bambi recalls well. It is The Teacher’s Day in Lebanon, even if it is harder for the country’s teachers to rejoice in the overwhelming economic crisis. Best wishes to all of them, including you as a university professor.
Thank you for being who you are to so many of us. For Bambi, you are a sunshine of a loving big sister as well as a friend. Two in one. What can Bambi ask for more from life? Maybe another sister? Well, she is blessed to have that as well [hello Rania :)].
The song “Recipe of Happiness” is in French [“La recette du bonheur“]. It is followed by the English “recipe”, thanks to Mr. Google Translate. Mind you, the latter wishes you a Happy Birthday, Roula. Believe it or not, he asked Bambi to send you his warm regards [just like “Zaanjar” of our childhood :)].
“The recipe for happiness, it’s not that complicated
No need to be a great starred chef
You have to cook with a good heart
Simmer every day
It’s every passing moment
What we savour
The recipe for happiness
Just be patient
In us we find the right ingredients
We prepare it at any time
And always with passion
To taste it without moderation
A smile when you wake up
Crunchy, crispy heat
A ray of sunshine
A pinch of good humor
A sparkling gaze
A good handful of hello
Enliven the taste buds
With a pinch of humour
The recipe for happiness, it’s not that complicated
No need to be a great starred chef
You have to cook with a good heart
Simmer every day
It’s every passing moment
What we savour
The recipe for happiness
Just be patient
In us we find the right ingredients
We prepare it at any time
And always with passion
To taste it without moderation
A few tears of joy
Well mixed with laughter
Above all, don’t forget
When it’s time to serve
A touch of tenderness
Warmed up with brotherhood
Covered with a promise
Of love and friendship
The recipe for happiness, it’s not that complicated
No need to be a great starred chef
You have to cook with a good heart
Simmer every day
It’s every passing moment
What we savour
The recipe for happiness
Just be patient
In us we find the right ingredients
We prepare it at any time
And always with passion
To taste it without moderation
The recipe for happiness, it’s not that complicated
No need to be a great starred chef
You have to cook with a good heart
Simmer every day
It’s every passing moment
What we savour
The recipe for happiness
Just be patient
In us we find the right ingredients
We prepare it at any time
And always with passion
To taste it without moderation
To taste it without moderation
To taste it without moderation“.
