It can rain today,
Be stormy or snowing,
Because you shine
Like the sunshine.
Today is your birthday,
So we celebrate,
All your friends
Are happy with you
How beautiful that you were born,
Otherwise we would have really missed you.
How beautiful that we're together
We congratulate you, birthday child!
Our good wishes
Have their reason:
Please stay
Happy and healthy for even longer.
Seeing you so happy,
Is what pleases us,
There are already enough tears
In this world.
How beautiful that you were born,
Otherwise we would have really missed you.
How beautiful that we're together,
We congratulate you, birthday child!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
It doesn't matter at all,
Your birthday comes around
Only once a year.
So let's celebrate,
Until we drop,1
Today there will be dancing,
Singing and laughing.
How beautiful that you were born,
We would have really missed you otherwise.
How beautiful that we're together,
We congratulate you, birthday child!
