Do You Know the Romanian Birthday Song – “La Multi Ani”?

Naomi wrote:

Hello!

I am looking or the words for the traditional La Multi Ani sung at birthdays in Romanian.

It starts off with “La Multi Ani sa traiti…”

There is another song (which I am not looking for, but which pops up all the time!), which is “Cine sa traeasca” (a sort of “For he’s a Jolly Good Fellow” a la roumaine).

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks!

    It means:
    Happy Birthday(literally: many more years) with good health,
    May the Lord give you everything you wish for
    Days with no clouds, and happiness
    Many more years (i.e. Happy Birthday)
    may you live.

    I know this spelling is wrong, but phoenetically, I thought this was it:

    La multi an cu sonatata
    Sa va che domnul sa va traits
    Zile senine si ferechire
    La multi an sa traits

    ?

    Is there a well known Romanian wedding song that is easy to learn? My husband and I would like to record a song for a couple who is getting married in Romania this year. We will not be able to attend the wedding but we would like to record a wedding song on video for them.

    kindly,
    Aurora

    I was wondering if anyone had the sheet music for “La Multi Ani”. I want to learn to play the song on my violin, so I would appreciate any help in locating some sheet music to play the music. Multumesc!

  15. lucutza55 Says:

    cantecul complet e asa:
    la multi ani cu sanatate
    sa va va dea Domnul tot ce doriti
    zile senine si fericire
    la multi ani sa traiti
    dar mai are o paret pe care nu a scris-o nimeni”\
    va fie viata numai lumina
    ca in lumina sa dainuiti
    pentru credinta si fericire
    la multi ani sa traiti

  16. NoName Says:

    Catre Lucutza55:

    Niciodata n-am auzit partea aceea a cantecului!
    Pana acum stiam:

    “La multi ani cu sanatate,
    Sa va dea Domnul tot ce diriti!
    Zile senine si fericire,
    La multi ani sa traiti!

    Multi a(~aaaaa)ni
    La multi a(~aaaaaa)ni
    La multi ani,fericiti,sa traiti!
    La Multi Ani!

    Multi a(~aaaaa)ni
    La multi a(~aaaaa)ni
    La multi ani,fericiti,sa traiti,
    La Multi Ani!

    Dar,de partea aceasta a reala,adevarata,vie (ma refer,nu o creatie poetica) cu mult drag as vrea s-o pot canta!

  17. Georgetta Says:

    Lucutza 55, he’s right! Acesta este cantecul complet…insa nu multa lume-l stie,din pacate:(

    (English Translation: Lucutza 55, he’s right! This is the song completely … but not many people know it, unfortunately.)

  18. Lisa Says:

    Can “La multi ani cu sanatate” be a New Year’s song too?

    Is it more for birthdays or the new year?

  19. Ryan Says:

    If you want to play it in guitar it goes may sounds like this. I’m a bit sure about this caused I’ve heard and played it by ear.
