El Amanecer de la Reina" (The Queen's Dawn)

Intro]

(The sound of a hawk crying. A lonely, high-pitched whistle plays the classic 'Mañanitas' melody but slower, more haunting. A deep electric guitar with heavy reverb plays a dark, low chord.)

This is the song that the King once played,

In the desert heat, in the canyon shade.

But because it’s your day, and your star is bright,

I’m bringing these notes to the morning light.

(The Guitarrón kicks in with a steady, heavy beat. Trumpets blare a bright, sharp motif.)

Wake up, my love! Oh, wake up now!

The sun is climbing o’er the mountain’s brow.

The moon has fled, the night has run,

And the birds are singing to the rising sun.

(A Spanish guitar takes a fast, rhythmic solo—flamenco style)

How beautiful the light as it finds your face,

I come with a blessing to this holy place.

The day you were born, the desert bloomed,

And the scent of the jasmine the wind consumed.

At the fountain’s edge, where the waters flow,

The nightingales sang... so the world would know.

(A 'twangy' Fender Stratocaster solo, echoing and vast, playing a melodic, bluesy version of the birthday tune.)

The dawn is steady, the shadows are thin,

The day is waiting for you to begin.

Rise up, rise up, let the light come in,

Let the story of your new year begin.

(The music fades to just a lonely violin and a soft guitar strum)

If I could reach the heavens, where the stars are grand,

I’d pull them down and place them in your hand.

Just to show you, baby, as the shadows retreat,

I love who you are... from your head to your feet.

With jasmine and flowers, your world I’ll complete,

On this sacred day... I’m singing at your feet.

(A final, echoing trumpet note fades into the sound of a desert wind)

Yeah... I’m singing at your feet.

(Tan-Tán!)
