Today is another great day in our house, my oldest daughter turned 16!!!!
One of the my claim’s to fame is that I have 4 kids who were all born in different countries. My husband calls them our souvenirs of where we have lived. Lydia is our Panamanian souvenir.
So of course being her birthday we had to wake her up by singing “Happy Birthday”! But wait, where do we live? In Poland silly, so her 2 little sisters said we had to sing it in Polish. What? We have lived here for 3 months there is no way that they know this song in Polish, WRONG again mom!
Follow this link to YouTube to watch the girls waking up Lydia singing “Sto Lat”
While there were a few hiccups in the song but for the most part these 2 have it mastered! I can’t even begin to sing this. We have heard this song many times over here already as it song any different occasions not just birthdays.
Here are the words to the song….
Sto Lat
Sto lat, sto lat, niech zyje zyje nam.
Sto lat, sto lat, niech zyje zyje nam.
Jeszcze raz, jeszcze raz, niech zyje, zyje nam.
Niech zyje nam!
Sto Lat (English version)
Good luck, good cheer, may you live a hundred years.
Good luck, good cheer, may you live a hundred years.
Good luck, good cheer, may you live a hundred years.
One hundred years!
Happy Birthday Lydia, Love Mom!!
