Im trying to find out how to sing Happy Birthday in Polish, but I dont know the lyrics, how to pronounce them, or how the song goes.

Can anyone direct me to a site that would help me out? I appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Does this help: [Sto Lat!](http://www.polishamericancenter.org/StoLat.htm) ? 🙂

Ahh, the Polish/Slovak side of my family sings this at each birthday. It’s fun in places like Chuck E Cheese, with all the odd looks you get from the non-Polacks (and the grins from other Polacks).

“Have yourself a merry little Christmas…”
