In French, the Happy Birthday song is a word for word translation of the English traditional one. Nothing fancy. I've learned the first part of the Swedish Happy Birthday song somewhat 20 years ago, now that I have learned about the more macabre second part, I kinda wish I never knew about it lol 😂

Hey! very intressant! in Greece we say: I'll write in English "Live (their name X) and happy birthday, grow old with white hair everywhere, spread the light of knowledge and let everyone say yes, a wise man.../woman" ! 😀

Tack så mycket!!! I learnt it to sing to one of my friends from Sweden, she loved it haha

Det är en lite längre säng än den vi sjunger här i Italien : "Tanti auguri a te e la torta a me, tanti auguri a [personnamn] e la torta a meeeeeeeee!" (många grattis till dig och din tårta till mig, många grattis till [personnamn] och din tårta till miiiiiiiiiiig! - jag hoppas att jag översatta bra). 😄

tack för videon! Är inte lätt att lära mig svenska men dina videor hjälper mycket

The whole horse backwards part is not made up but a nod to the old "European" custom of "Charivari", being paraded through town backwards on a horse or donkey. In the song it is kind of implied as a parade of celebration for hitting 100 years after "fooling" you to think you are getting hanged, just like the other verses "fools you" that you are being shot and drowned using Swedish word play. But in reality being subjected to "Charivari" was not a fun thing. It was done to not necessarily criminals but "wrong-doers" to shame them for things the community didn't approve of/breaking taboos, like a widow/widower re-marrying to early without proper amount of mourning time in between. I suppose charivari is still actually better than being hanged... 😅 The whole concept of the song is also culturally Swedish with our old norse/viking ancestry, toying with the thought of "Ättestupa" (when you are to old to contribute to your community and become a liability/burden, you are to jump or be thrown off a cliff). Essentially this song is - We hope you live to 100, but when you hit 100 years we'll kill you... naaah just kidding, congrats... Charivari has some variations in spelling and is originally french for making noises or making a ruckus to show discontent/disapproval. Wich ofc happened as the person being shamed was paraded backwards through town. In english it was also called a skimmington. Vet inte hur gammal du är nu, men du är idag gammal när du lärde dig ytterligare något nytt om vår konstiga födelsdagslåt. 😉

I don't know a word of swedish but I subscribed anyway. 🙂

Vad rolig video! Jag ska flytta till Sverige och jag kommer att behöva den här låten en dag. tack tack

Hej 👋 kan du göra mer video på youtube Din kanal är fantastisk 😆

Äntligen förstår jag låten! 😊 Tack, Kathrin! 👍

Tusen tack Katrin för 100 svenska uttrykt👍 Brå jobb! Det är väldigt användbart !!! Jag kan rekommendera denna kurs.

Hej! In my country “Nicaragua” have three different songs before eating the cake: Happy birthday, Las Mañanitas “The little mornings” and Ya queremos pastel “We want cake”. If we are eager for the cake we sing either Happy birthday or We want cake, otherwise Las Mañanitas which is the longest, and when we are reeaally lucky the three of them will be together 🥲. Please take a look at “Las Mañanitas” it’s so sweet but long😅 oh there’s a Chicheros version that most of the unlucky neighbors hear at 3 am… yeah, it’s so noisy🥹.

Tack så mycket! Du är fantastisk lärare! Ha det bra!

Det här är Carl Michael Bellman från början. "Venus, Minerva Mars bland de djärva ..." ... som har kidnappats till en svensk födelsedagssång. Fredmans sång nr 12.

Fint

Du är väldigt rolig 😅😅😅😅

doing best dear friend

That's a different song from "Ha den äran idag", right? (which people I knew sang right before "Hög ska du leva")

Good...

❤❤❤❤❤

Hej Katrin! Tack för att du har berättat om födelsedagssång. Kan du förbereda en video om sveriges national sång?

Hi

Sjungs så vackert! men jag har en fråga. Vad sjunger du för någon som har fyllt 101 år?😉

hej

What a viking song 😂

Is it true Swedes only celebrate their bithday only on the tenth, twentieth, thirtieth etc year?

Twa till fira piller om dågen :)

Seriously that's what the words are?
