Entry #5 : Birthday Song 生日 哥 （shengri ge）

Date : 16/04/2018
Time : 9.50 a.m.

This weekend , one of my friends will be having her birthday. I am planning to sing her birthday song in mandarin.It consists of two phrases and repeated like traditional English song.I learned it from this link.

zhù nǐ shēng rì kuài lè
zhù nǐ shēng rì kuài lè
zhù nǐ shēng rì kuài lè
zhù nǐ yǒngyuǎn kuài lè

  祝 (zhù) means "wish" or "express good wishes".
祝你 (zhù nǐ) means "wishing you."
 快樂 (in traditional form) / 快乐 (simplified form) (kuài lè) can be preceded by any happy occasion such as Christmas (聖誕節快樂 / 圣诞节快乐 / shèng dàn jié kuài lè) or New Year (新年快樂 / 新年快乐 / xīn nián kuài lè).

 Here is also a video from youtube that I used to practice pronouncing.

 I will probably do the recording of me singing it so if I do so, I will definitely post it here.
