Zarah Aguanta (Seventy and Fabulous)

Intro

Zarah, Zarah, hey! (hey)

Light it up, light it up, light it up — oh-oh

Seventy candles, seventy cheers, come on now, come on now

Verse

You walk in the room and the room remembers

Laughter like summer, hands that hold December

Photos on the mantel, stories in the frames

Every face here calls out your name

You taught us how to stand, how to bend, how to dream

Sugar in your laugh, steady like a seam

Dancing in the kitchen with flour on your shoes

Turning little moments into beautiful truths (yeah)

Pre-chorus

Raise your glass, feel the sound (feel the sound)

All of us gathered, gathered round (gathered round)

Seventy years of light, seventy years of grace

We celebrate your smile, we celebrate this place

Chorus

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Zarah Aguanta, we sing it loud and proud

Zarah Aguanta, clap your hands, shout it out (shout it out)

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Keep the music playing, keep your spirit high

We’ll dance till morning, under this grateful sky (yeah)

Verse

Grandkids on your knee, stories in your eyes

A thousand quiet lessons, a million little wise replies

You planted seeds of daring, watered them with hope

Taught us how to wish and then taught us how to cope

Your footsteps write a map that we’ll follow all our days

Your jokes still crack the silence in the warmest ways

From morning cups of coffee to late-night lullabies

You made us brave enough to chase our alibis (heh)

Bridge

Sing it loud, sing it clear (sing it clear)

We’ve come from far, we’ve come from near (come on)

Every wrinkle is a ribbon, every laugh a crown

You lift us up, you won’t let us down (won’t let us down)

Hey-ya, hey-ya, clap it, stomp it, say the name

Zarah! Zarah! We play your flame (play your flame)

Chorus

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Zarah Aguanta, we sing it loud and proud

Zarah Aguanta, clap your hands, shout it out (shout it out)

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Zarah Aguanta, seventy and fabulous, oh-oh

Keep the music playing, keep your spirit high

We’ll dance till morning, under this grateful sky (uh-huh)

Outro

(Zarah, Zarah) — oh-oh, oh-oh

Seventy and fabulous, yeah, yeah, yeah
