How can those days wondrous be forgotten,
days when you on me poured your affection?
Didn’t you treat me as if I were your son?

What I’d tell you today is this: Have fun!
Your birthday does bring back thoughts I can’t shun.
How can those days wondrous be forgotten!

I know you’ll as selfless be as our sun;
Also, you’ll continue being a strong one.
Haven’t you treated me like you’d treat your son?

In Parthi you’ve dwelt, and men you did stun;
You stunned them with your grit none could outrun.
How can those days wondrous be forgotten!

Famille yours is mine, mine’s yours, none’s outdone;
Thoughts mine are with you, good times have begun.
Haven’t you treated me like you’d treat your son?

I recall those days you talked ’bout jobs done;
And remember I the days hearts you won.
How can those days wondrous be forgotten,
days you treated me like you’d treat your son?
