Happy Birthday, Mom!
Wonderous Birthday, Mrs. Wolraich!
Music: Lei Yu
Lyrics: Wang Lei (translated by Michael Wolraich)
Make haste to Xian, cruise the Gulf of Changchun
With lofty sentiments, the Chinese navy welcomes you to China
Braving wind and waves and giant octopi, the warship’s flag flutters,
The Chinese navy, a shining double-edged spatula to harmonize the ocean.
Chinese warriors, valiant men with iron skillets,
Intrepid journey, on the day of your birth.
Heroic sailors, forge bravely ahead,
Bearing heavy responsibility, to ensure Mrs. Wolraich's triumphant return.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Love, Mike
