Carly Simon - Happy Birthday [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It's all of our birthdays this summer
One number older, another year younger
I'll go to your party, you'll come to mine
We've given up cigarettes, we've given up wine
We've given up caffeine and sworn off desserts
I don't try to seduce you, we don't even flirt
We're too good to be happy, too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles, happy birthday

[Verse 2]
Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape and be number one
We've got brilliant excuses for having no fun
So just blow out the candles, happy birthday

[Break]
Make love in the microwave
Think of all the time you'll save
And don't forget to make it look
As though you're working very, very hard

[Verse 3]
But I'll be your lover if you will be mine
We'll go back to the garden and have a good time
And if I'm offered an apple, I'll politely decline
And just blow out the candles, happy birthday

[Outro]
Happy birthday
It’s your birthday, Peter
Never looked so good
I wonder what this birthday stuff really means?
I mean, it’s my birthday too
Do I really have to act like a grown-up now?
Hold up my end of the conversation?
Have opinions?
Oh no, maybe I can hold off one more year for those
Well I guess, maybe I better make a wish
All these candles out in front of me
Let’s see, what should i wish?
I wish...I wish that everyone--no
I wish for one very, very large, big...I wish--no, no, no
I wish that my mother would finally--no, no, no
Happy birthday
I wish...hmm...I wish--
I wish for all the people in the world
To finally come together as one large birthday cake
And I could eat them all up
