Happy Birthday Poem in Russian


Does your friend or relative have birthday?! Learn how to write and pronounce a short Russian birthday poem!

С днём рожденья тебя поздравляю!
Здоровья, радости желаю,
И чтоб жил(а) ты много лет
Без слёз, без горести, без бед!


Literal translation into English:
I congratulate you with your birthday!
I wish you health and happiness,
And to live for many years
With no tears, with no sadness, with no troubles!
