How To Sing Happy Birthday To You in Different Countries (With Audios)

Did you know that the song ‘Happy Birthday To You‘ or commonly known as ‘Happy Birthday‘ is the most recognized song in the English language? Yes – that is according to the 1998 Guinness World Records. And I’m sure each and every one of you can sing this song translated in your own language (let’s see about that!). Because I got curious on how to sing Happy Birthday in different languages, I asked my international online friends to sing this song in their own native language.
