Selamat hari jadi anakku
If only I could turn back time
Your first few steps around the coffee table
All the while slapping your hands on it
The giggle and sight of an itching gum
The thoughts of kikilala and kiko
Mama bought you a toy to bite
Like always, she knows us best.

We are young, all of us
The warm, moist, soft hand of yours
Inherited from your ayah
Or in his case he never grew out of it
And that beautiful smile from your mama
We love you no matter what
Rest asleep now, you've a long way to grow
To be strong and healthy
To guard the gates of happiness
All for our taking.

Happy birthday my child.
Hold on to our hands and don't let go.
