ja må hon leva uti hundrade år.
Ja visst, ska hon leva,

Och när hon har levat,

och när hon har levat, uti hundrade år.
Ja då ska hon skjutas,

Ett fyrfaldigt leve för The Forge! Hon leve, hipp, hipp
HURRA! HURRA! HURRA! HURRA!

Careful, Ben. You don't want to get sued.
EDIT: I'm so happy edit's on for Bday.
Hey Ben, the Forge is in ISO-8859-1. Could we get that in Pinyin?

It's not my fault we're not running on modern enough software. :-)
It's quite simple, really. The tune, like I said, is standard.

Pronounciation guide for the curious.
The song has one phrase, which is made of three words of two characters each, and repeated four times. The third line draws the last syllable out of two notes. Here's how it goes (tones not included because tones aren't sung.)
First character = ni (pronounced like the English "knee" as in "I was running and hurt my knee") This means "you."
Second character = de (pronounced like the English "duh" as in "system matters -- duh") This character modifies the previous noun to make it possessive.
Together, these characters form the first word, pronounced "knee-duh," and it means "your."
Third character = sheng (rhymes with English "hung" as in "by the time the Dogs came into down, they'd already hung old Mr. Withers) This means "birth" or "fresh."
Fourth character = ri (starts with an "r"esque sound, rhymes with "her" as in "you could tell she was a sorcerer by looking at her tattoos.") This means "sun" or "day" or "Japanese."
Together, these characters form the second word, pronounced "shung-rer," and it means "birthday."
Fifth character = kuai (which starts with qu sound and rhymes with "eye" as in "The Master requires her left eye for his research." Quai.) This means "fast"
Sixth and last character = le (rhymes with "duh," again) This means "happiness" or "joy."
Together, these characters form the third word, prononced "quai-luh," and it means "happiness."
So, stringing to together, we get: "knee-duh shung-rer quai-luh." Your birthday happy, literally.
Let's sing it together this time!

Sto lat! Sto lat! Niech żyje, żyje nam.
Sto lat! Sto lat! Niech żyje, żyje nam.
Jeszcze raz! Jeszcze raz! Niech żyje, żyje nam.
Niech żyje nam.
Niech ci gwiazdka pomyślności nigdy nie zagaśnie, nigdy nie zagaśnie!
A kto zdrowia nie wypije, niech pod stołem zaśnie.
A kto zdrowia nie wypije, niech pod stołem zaśnie.
Niech ci gwiazdka pomyślności nigdy nie zagaśnie, nigdy nie zagaśnie!
A kto z nami nie wypije, niech go piorun trzaśnie.
A kto z nami nie wypije, niech go piorun trzaśnie.
I jeszcze jeden, i jeszcze raz! Sto lat, sto lat niech żyje nam.
Sto lat, sto lat, sto lat niech żyje nam.
I już!
This is a polish birthday song, so there is a lot of drinking references like:
"A kto zdrowia nie wypije, niech pod stołem zaśnie." - and the one who will not drink for your wellbeing, will sleep under the table!
"A kto z nami nie wypije, niech go piorun trzaśnie." - and the one who will not drink with us, will be struck by a lightning!

Sto (hundred) lat (years), so
"Sto lat! Sto lat! Niech żyje, żyje nam." means - "hundred years! hundred years! Let him/her live, live with us"

How about a classic lyric from everyone's favorite Mythos band, the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets! (www.thickets.net)
Big Robot Dinosaur
Dad's working on something special down in the basement
I yelled goodbye as I headed out to wait for the bus
At school it's the usual torture
Pushed and tripped in the hall
Hit in the head with a half eaten orange
Facewashed in the snow
Got home so fed up and angry
My dad came to me
Took me down to the basement and said "It's finally ready, son"
My senses reeled my heart stood still
Before me glowed a glory
The Fruit of my father's laborious weekends
Towering three or four stories.
Behind the shiny candy red skin, the monument hummed its electric tune My dad said "Why don't you climb on in?" and unscrewed the hatch in the back We squirmed through its artificial innards He showed me the controls I watched him struggling to conceal his pride and I said "Papa, let's kill some people"
We're on a rampage in a robot dinosaur

The great Weird Al Yankovic has this to say:
Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year.
We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer.
You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat.
A million people every day are starving in the street.
Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor.
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four.
There's garbage in the water,
There's poison in the sky,
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits?
Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits.
The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose.
Their finger's on the button, all they need it an excuse.
It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide.
When they drop the big one, we all get fried!
(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Wow!
Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight.
There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight.
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed.
Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed.
I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun.
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun.
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take,
Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Wow!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
(Happy Birthday!)
And a pinch to grow an inch!

Burn like villages in you wake

May your deeds with sword and axe
Equal those with sheep and yaks

First you pillage, then you burn

True Fact: A musician was sued by the estate of John Cage for putting a cover of "Silence 4'33" on an album.
The musician then went on to go to try to copyright every other interval of silence for himself.
Anyway, here's my contribution - y'all dwelling here in the promised land are immune to nostalgia, so it won't be more than a curiosity, but here goes:
Out at the store today I saw the D&D sticker
on the WotC rack
a little voice inside my head said don’t
look back, you can never look back.
I thought I knew what fun was,
what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let ‘em go but -
I can see you -
your broadsword hackin’ in the sun
you got your twenty sider out and some
Black Sabbath on buddy
and I can tell you
the dreams we dreamed will still be strong
after the orcs of summer are gone...
