Sung to the tune of Happy Birthday, the song Parabéns pra você is the song most commonly sung in Brazil to celebrate someone’s birthday.
All together now!
Parabéns pra você
Nesta data querida
Muitas felicidades
Muitos anos de vida!
Parabéns pra você
Nesta data querida
Muitas felicidades
Muitos anos de vida!
Typically, this song is the first of many, many songs that the (usually large) group of celebrants sing at a birthday party. There are regional variations of Parabéns pra você and various combinations of additional songs and call-and-response routines that are frequently performed.
Many urban Brazilians enjoy dining out to celebrate aniversários (birthdays); as a result, it is seemingly impossible to eat a meal out, particularly in a large restaurant, without hearing the song sung.
Now you can join in the fun!
