Wie schön dass du geboren bist [English translation]

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!
