Translation of the song 你的生日 artist Zheng Zhihua

你的生日让我想起

Your birthday has reminded me

一个很久以前的朋友

Of an olden friend of me.

那是一个寒冷的冬天

Upon a chilling winter day,

他流浪在街头

He wandering on streets.

我以为他要乞求什么

He was begging for something, I thought,

他却总是摇摇头

Yet he just shook his head.

他说今天是他的生日

'Twas his birthday then, as he told me,

却没人祝他生日快乐

But no celebration was said.

生日快乐 祝你生日快乐

Happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

握着我的手 跟我一起唱

Hold my hand and with me sing

这首生日快乐歌

This song of birthday.

生日快乐 祝你生日快乐

Happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

有生的日子天天快乐

May you be happy everyday you live,

别在意生日怎么过

Don't care how to celebrate.

这个朋友早已不知下落

His whereabouts became a mystery,

眼前的我有一点失落

Now I feel a little upset.

这世界有些人一无所有

Many people don't own a thing in the world,

有些人却得到太多

Whilst some people always get.

所以我最亲爱的朋友

So, I gotta say, my dear friends,

请你珍惜你的拥有

Cherish what you possess, please.

虽然是一首生日才唱的歌

Though it's a song only for birthday,

愿永远陪在你左右

Hope it with you and never cease.

生日快乐 祝你生日快乐

Happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

握着我的手 跟我一起唱

Hold my hand and with me sing

这首生日快乐歌

This song of birthday.

生日快乐 祝你生日快乐

Happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

有生的日子天天快乐

May you be happy everyday you live,

别在意生日怎么过

Don't care how to celebrate.
