If you want to go the extra mile for your loved one or friend, try singing the happy birthday song in Armenian. You’ll be happy to know it’s the same tune as the English version, they just sing it in Armenian.

Check out the videos below to hear the Armenian birthday song. I’ve listed the lyrics below so you can sing along.

Here’s the lyrics so you can sing along:

“Տարեդարձ է այսօր! 
Տարեդարձ է այսօր! 
Տարեդարձ է այսօր!
Տարեդարձ է այսօր!”

The transliteration of this is:

“Taredardz e aysor!
Taredardz e aysor!
Taredardz e aysor! 
Taredardz e aysor!”

This roughly translates to:

“Happy birthday to you!
