Every single year, you get more grand and grand,
so this year to you I say, happy birthday man!
The years of your life have been bold, never bland,
and we all know that you are part of an incredible plan.

Happy birthday to someone who has brought us so much joy
up until this day to the time when you were a little boy.
We are glad to have been here with you along these travels and roads,
and we are glad that all of us siblings lived until our days of old.
Always on your birthday, we will be right here
to bring you blessings, joy and good cheer throughout the year.

From the first day that you came to this world,
you were a very special little boy.
I remember the days when we played in the grass and grew to men from boys.
Now we’re at a time in our lives when we are grow old.
No matter where the years take us and what burdens we must bear,
I’ll always be here for you my brother and my dear.

My father, you’ve been a confidante and a friend.
My father, I’ll stand by you until the end.
My father, today is one we celebrate in honor of you.
My father, know how much I love you too.

Eight decades have passed more quickly than you might know.
You’ve seen seasons of rain, sleet, sun, wind and snow.
But one element that has always remained at the heart
is the fact that from you, I never want to be apart.
Happy birthday to a man who deserves all of the best,
and who is certain to have greatness to come yet.
