Lyrics - Sranan Tongo
(Folk song from Suriname)
A di mi yere yu friyari
A di mi yere yu friyari
A di mi yere yu friyari,
dan mi kon fersteri yu.
A no fu yu kuku, ano fu yu sopi
A no fu yu kuku, ano fu yu sopi
A no fu yu kuku, ano fu yu sopi,
ma mi kon fersteri yu.
English Translation – Because I heard it is your birthday
Because I heard it is your birthday
Because I heard it is your birthday
Because I heard it is your birthday,
I have come to congratulate you.
Not for your cake, not for your drinks
Not for your cake, not for your drinks
Not for your cake, not for your drinks,
but I have come to congratulate you.
