Sto lat

Happy 3rd Birthday Maya!!!

I've been compelled to look up the spelling & meaning of our Polish Birthday tune.  Here's what I gleaned from wikipedia!  (Sad commentary - I should have "grandma'd" this instead of "googling" it.)


Sto lat, sto lat,
Niech żyje, żyje nam.
Sto lat, sto lat,
Niech żyje, żyje nam,
Jeszcze raz, jeszcze raz, niech żyje, żyje nam,
Niech żyje nam!
This translates roughly into English as:
A hundred years, a hundred years,
May he (she) live for us.
A hundred years, a hundred years,
May he live for us.
Once again, once again, may he live, live for us,
May he live for us!
