Yarkimi otkritkami, korobkami s bantami
Bright cards, boxes with bows

And glasses clink, filled to the brim with champagne
Etot tvoi osobii den’ mi prazdnuem po-tsarski
We celebrate this special day of yours royally
Zaduesh’ svechi ti v svoi Den’ Rozhdeniya
You'll blow out the candles on your birthday

And you can't hide your excitement from anyone now
God proshel, a kazhetsya proshlo odno mgnovenie
A year has passed, yet it feels like just a moment
Zaduesh’ svechi ti v svoi Den’ Rozhdeniya

I v slivkakh tort s malinovim vareniem
And a cream-covered cake with raspberry jam

SONG MEANING
“С Днём Рождения” is like stepping into the ultimate birthday bash: balloons everywhere, champagne glasses clinking, and a creamy cake bursting with raspberry jam. Yurii Shatunov sings from the point of view of a friend who cannot wait to shower the birthday star with hugs, poems, and well-wishes. The chorus repeats the magical moment of blowing out candles, turning that familiar ritual into a promise that every single wish will come true.
Behind the confetti and sparkling lights lies a gentle reminder of time’s quick march—another year has flashed by “in an instant.” Yet the mood stays gloriously upbeat. The song invites you to savor each celebration, feel grateful for friends gathered around you, and believe that life’s sweetest surprises are just one candle’s breath away.
