Mnohaya Lita is sung as a birthday song in Ukraine. It is Ukrainian Happy Birthday!
Yes! 🎉
Hi! Just some additional info: My grade 3 kids recently requested a song from the Ukraine, and I found this awesome resource. I took it to a local recent immigrant from Ukraine. She said that the words are a bit outdated, since they are a mix of Russian and Ukrainian, more like what would’ve been used during USSR times.
Wow, good to know! Does she have the updated lyrics I can use?
