Vandag is my verjaardag, ’n jaar is weer verby

Today is my birthday, another year has passed

En my foon bly net lui met die mooiste wense vir my

And my phone just keeps ringing with the most beautiful wishes for me

Elke woord en elke teksie, elke oproep en gebed

Every word and every text, every call and prayer

Het hierdie spesiale dag soveel mooier gemaak

Has made this special day so much more beautiful

(Koor) · Chorus

So ek sê dankie, baie dankie vir die liefde en die vriendskap vandag

So I say thank you, thank you very much for the love and friendship today

Julle boodskappe bring ’n traan en ’n baie groot glimlag

Your messages bring a tear and a very big smile

My hart is sommer vol, ek voel geseënd en so ryk

My heart is simply full, I feel blessed and so rich

Dankie dat julle almal vandag na my kyk

Thank you all for looking after me today

(Vers 2) · Verse 2

Van vriende lanklaas gesien tot die mense baie na aan my

From friends not seen in a long time to the people very close to me

Het elkeen van julle tyd gemaak om my siel te verbly

Each of you made time to gladden my soul

Die lewe loop soms vinnig, maar vandag staan dit eers stil

Life sometimes moves fast, but today it stands still for a moment

Met al die mooi woorde is dit presies wat ek wil

With all the beautiful words, this is exactly what I want

(Koor) · Chorus

So ek sê dankie, baie dankie vir die liefde en die vriendskap vandag

So I say thank you, thank you very much for the love and friendship today

Julle boodskappe bring ’n traan en ’n baie groot glimlag

Your messages bring a tear and a very big smile

My hart is sommer vol, ek voel geseënd en so ryk

My heart is simply full, I feel blessed and so rich

Dankie dat julle almal vandag na my kyk

Thank you all for looking after me today

(Brug) · Bridge

Groot waardering in my hart, ek wens ek kon elkeen druk

Great appreciation in my heart, I wish I could hug each one

Julle wense bring vir my soveel vrede en geluk

Your wishes bring me so much peace and happiness

(Koor) · Chorus

So ek sê dankie, baie dankie vir die liefde en die vriendskap vandag

So I say thank you, thank you very much for the love and friendship today

Julle boodskappe bring ’n traan en ’n baie groot glimlag

Your messages bring a tear and a very big smile

My hart is sommer vol, ek voel geseënd en so ryk

My heart is simply full, I feel blessed and so rich

Dankie dat julle almal vandag na my kyk

Thank you all for looking after me today

(Outro)

Ja, baie dankie...

Yes, thank you very much...

Vir elke boodskap en wens

For every message and wish

Ek is ’n baie geseënde mens!

I am a very blessed person!
