うれしい (ureshii) is the Japanese adjective meaning "happy" or "joyful". です (desu) is the polite form of the verb だ (da) which means, "to be". So to say うれしいです you are saying "is happy". In most contexts, this could be taken to mean "I am happy" or in many uses that you are happy based on some previous clause (Japanese always puts the reason before the what, which is backwards from the typical way "because" is used in English). For instance, the sentence 寿司を食べさえすれば、うれしいです。 (sushi wo tabesae sureba, ureshii desu) would mean, "If only I eat sushi, I'm happy", which would be stated in English more naturally as, "All I need to be happy is to eat sushi."
