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 honoured 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 [bad word] 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 
 (REPEAT 3X)

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

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
 she will love him until the day she dies
 until the day she dies
 you could love me till the day you die
 until the day you die
 cause i will love you till the day i die
 till the day i die 
 and even more.
