Happy Birthday
Basboi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to myself
Selamat ulang tahun
Celebrate it with myself
Dengan diam melamun

All I did and all I′ve done
All I aim and all I've won
All the places that I went
All times that I have spent
Was it worth it all my years man I don′t ever really know
I just do my thing is all I ever really know
Walau terkadang my progress they be really really slow
Aku bersyukur 'cause in the end I really really grow

Man it feel like yesterday
Duduk di depan kue
Now responsibility
Duduk di depan gue
They say kita abadi yang fana adalah waktu
But I'm older dan tagihan hadir di depan pintu

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

Shed so much tear I could swim in it
Got enough to make me drown in it
Problem round my neck mereka melilit
I been in the rut i been in the pit

Pitch black, oh my god, I′ve hit rock bottom
Macam pbhttt spongebob pbhtttt ku di rock bottom
These days over now
I feel better now
But in a couple sec akan datang new problem
Makin hari makin old
Makin tua makin gold
Be strong be bold
Yea that′s what you're told

Mreka bilang makin makin
Aku bilang amin amin
Tapi beres tiup lilin
Di belakang they be talking

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
