Translation
On the auspicious day of your birth,
the light of dawn arrives in a new form,
smiling in new ways, moment by moment.
Today, nectar overflows through the skies and the breeze.
To where does the brimming heart float away
on a tide of delight?
In the joy of fulfilment, today, in entrancing rhythm,
sweet memories flood the mind.
Today, in the blue sky on the cool breeze,
birds are chirruping.
In flower-buds on trees, in smiling blossoms,
a stream of honey flows.
Today, close to all, in the midst of all,
I have found you in every heart.
