No song warms a gathering quite like “Happy Birthday to You”. It’s the song that brings a big smile to every child, young or grown-up.

没有什么歌能像《祝你生日快乐》那样温暖聚会氛围。这首歌让每个孩子——无论长幼——都绽放出灿烂的笑容。

Here’s our simple take on “Happy Birthday to You” in Teochew. Far from perfect, we know… it’s just us. 🎶😊

这是我们尝试用潮语哼唱的《生日快乐歌》。虽然不完美,但我们已经尽力了。

Do you have the voice to sing it better? Or the talent to compose a brand-new birthday song for the Teochew family?

你的歌声能否为这首歌增添光彩?又或者,你愿意施展才华,为全球潮州人创作一首专属我们的生日主题曲?
