BIRTHDAY SONG

STO LAT (100 YEARS):
ONE HUNDRED YEARS, ONE HUNDRED YEARS
LIVE FOR US A HUNDRED YEARS;
ONE MORE TIME, ONE MORE TIME,
LIVE FOR US A HUNDRED YEARS.
THIS IS A POLISH SONG WHICH IS SUNG TO THE CELEBRANT ON
EVERY BIRTHDAY HE HAS AT THE DINNER TABLE; IT IS A
SORT OF POLISH COUNTERPART TO OUR OWN "HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO YOU." THIS CUSTOM HAS BEEN IN MY INFORMANT'S
LIFE FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER.
