Happy Birthday
"Happy Birthday" is considered a strophic song because it consists of repeated verses set to the same melody. The lyrics remain the same, with only the name changing in the lyrics to personalize it.
The Happy Birthday song originates from the English folk song for the elderly. The song was originally used to taunt another's age and remind them that death crawls closer the more you age.
happy birthday -> joyeux anniversaire, bon anniversaire In my (non-native) opinion, saying "joyeux" is a bit nicer since "bon" is so generic. "Joyeux anniversaire" is also the French equivalent of our "Happy birthday to you" song (same melody).
"Happy Birthday!" in Chinese is "ç¥ä½ ç”Ÿæ—¥å¿«ä¹ï¼" The pronunciation is " zhu4 ni3 sheng1ri4 kuai4le4!" "zhu4" means "to wish". "ni3"means "you". "sheng1ri4"means "birthday". "kuai4le4"means "happy". When you sing the song, just repeat this sentence 4 times. The melody is totally same as the English Happy Birthday song.
The melody of the song was so catchy that I couldn't stop humming it all day.
Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear "FLUTES" Happy Birthday to you
