Life has sped up
It took a new course
Years go by like minutes
It's switching gears
Everything is agitated
Everything is in a hurry-scurry
The years keep rushing towards us
It's a dizzying cycle1
Refr.:
And here's another new candle2, a few goods friends
May God protect you for many-many years to come!
A few relaxed hours after a hard year
Now, let this celebration be beautiful, maybe a better year is about to come
Everything is going fast
Everything keeps rolling nonstop
It never stops and
The hard struggle is tearing you apart
We came and we saw
We should've won by now3
In an insane world I've seen
That being smart only gets you in trouble...
Refr.:
And here's another new candle, a few goods friends
May God protect you for many-many years to come!
A few relaxed hours after a hard year
Now, let this celebration be beautiful, maybe a better year is about to come
1. The "cycle" here is similar in meaning to the circle of life.2. Birthday cakes sometimes have one candle on them for each year the person who is having the birthday has lived.3. This is a reference to "I came; I saw; I conquered", a Latin phrase popularly attributed to Julius Caesar.
