どっちだっけ ねえ あのこの好みは えっと
シャンパン ワイン それともシェリー? まあいいか

The lyrics of Kan's song "Happy Birthday" convey a celebratory and joyous atmosphere surrounding a special birthday event. The opening lines express a playful dilemma of guessing the preferences of the person being celebrated - champagne, wine, or sherry. The carefree attitude of not knowing what to expect from the guest of honor is highlighted, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement. The surprise on the guest's face serves as a signal to kickstart the festivities, symbolizing the beginning of a memorable celebration.
The chorus emphasizes the focus on honoring and celebrating the birthday individual, with the repeated phrases "We celebrate you baby (tulu, baby)" reinforcing the idea that this night is all about them. The invitation to sit down, listen, and sing along underscores the communal aspect of the celebration, where everyone comes together to rejoice in the presence and significance of the birthday person. The lyrics reflect a sentiment of cherishing the uniqueness of the individual and making them feel special on their special day.
The verses delve into the idea that it's not about fancy clothing but about the happiness and genuine smiles that have been long-awaited. The mention of how the guest's smile is like magic and can uplift everyone around them suggests the transformative power of joy and positivity. The camaraderie among the group members is highlighted, portraying a sense of unity and togetherness in celebrating the birthday person's essence and aura rather than just their outward appearance.
The closing lines of the song express a desire to cherish love, celebrate life, and stay together indefinitely. The reference to hanging onto and celebrating love that is too powerful to contain reflects a deep emotional connection and bond with the person being celebrated. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, with the themes of laughter, love, and celebration woven throughout, reinforces the joyous and heartfelt sentiments being shared among the participants. Overall, the song captures the essence of a happy birthday celebration filled with love, laughter, and heartfelt moments shared among friends and loved ones.
