Swedish Birthday Song
"Ja, må du leva"
A birthday celebration in Sweden often starts early in the morning. The family "surprises" the one with a birthday by bringing in a special breakfast tray with a hot beverage, sweet roll and lighted candle and singing "Ja, må du leva". (I hope that my family will do this for me tomorrow morning.)
This song is sung to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions. The Swedish version as well as an English translation are presented here.
Swedish Version
Ja, må du (han,hon, dom) leva, Ja, må du (han,hon, dom) leva,
Ja, må du (han,hon, dom) leva uti hundrade år.
