Today it was your birthday

And I didn’t know what to do

Are you supposed to call the people you love

When you know they don’t love you

Today was your birthday

But I didn’t dare to call

Though I thought about you all day

Even at midnight I wanted to call

To be honored to be the first one to send you my love

And wish you

Happy hippy birthday

Happy hippy birthday

Happy hippy birthday

Happy hippy birthday

35 candles on a cake

That I will never taste

35 candles run away

That I picture in my head

35 years old and I’m 22

And I remember when you used to say

That I was young but you didn’t care at all

Happy hippy birthday

Happy hippy birthday

Happy hippy birthday

Happy hippy birthday

16 of June 1973

My parents hadn’t even met

16 of June 1973

Was born the only boy I can ever love

We’re 13 years apart

Like my parents were

They’re 13 years apart and for them it’s worked out

They had me and my brother

They had me and my brother as achievements of their love

They had me and my brother

They had me and my brother

(just stay with G from prevoius verse)

until end

My father loved my mother so

That he would never let her down

My mother loved my father so

That she would never let him down

She loved him until the day he died

Until the day he died

Until the day he died

She will love him until the day she dies

Until the day she dies

Until the day she dies

You could love me till the day you die

Until the day you die

Until the day you die

Cause I will love you till the day I die

Until the day I die

Until the day I die

And even more.
