是被人代脚步从没财物能任你挥霍
It's being carried away by others, never having wealth to squander.
是没留住快乐
It's missing the joy that once was.
是幻情带上落我们愿从没能带上天国
It's the illusion that led us, wishing we could take heaven with us.
是越穷越迫落
It's the poorer we get, the more we struggle.
今天你别沉
Don't get lost today.
今天会转运
Today will bring a change of fortune.
糕点等你去开垦
Cakes await you to cultivate.
今天变大人
Today, we grow up.
今天有大人
Today, there are grown-ups.
令十二人愿意为你个人庆幸
Twelve people are willing to celebrate you.
今天你生日
Today is your birthday
谁哀不哀心都要听候你生日
Whoever feels sad or not must listen for your birthday
今天你生日
Today is your birthday

来接受礼物
Come receive your gifts
是没能做爵士没任何事能顺你心意
It's not about being a jazz star, nothing can go exactly your way
是未来没意义
The future holds no meaning
是没甜蜜蕴事无论谁亦能令你钟意
It’s not sweet romance, anyone can make you smile
是谈情没意义
Talking love has no purpose
今天你别沉
Today, don't feel down
今天会转运
Today fortune will turn in your favor
糕点等你去开垦
Pastries await your cultivation
今天变大人
Today you become an adult
今天有大人
Today there are adults around
令十二人愿意为你个人庆幸
Twelve will rejoice in your honor
