Ständchen [English translation]

We got to know

That some years ago someone

Found the day suitable

And without hesitation delivered you

Since then you're in this world

It's great that you like it here

Happy Birthday!

We wish that

Especially today many

Kind people are around you

And that they maybe even have gifts for you

And that they think of you

Because it's your birthday today

We wish that in your new year of age

The good things will stay as they were

And that everything which is getting on your nerves

At least does not get any worse

We wish that on every morning

You can star your new day

Happily and without sorrows

And that most likely you will never win

In the TV lottery

But you'll at least win some new friends

We wish you sunshine in summer

And loads of snow in winter

And that you always find the

Right clothes for the weather

And that many people visit you

And bring you delicious

Cakes. Yes, we'd like that!

We hope that you say: "Today is a day

Exactly as I like it

Having one's birthday is not bad!"

And that you also enjoy getting older

In the future without complaints

So, to make it short - that's why we are here

We congratulate you
