Similar songs exist in other languages such as "Lang zal hij/zij leven" in Dutch, "Zum Geburtstag Viel Glück" in German, "Cumpleaños Feliz" in Spanish, or "Sto lat" in Polish.

The person whose birthday it is makes a silent wish and then blows out the candles; if done in one breath, the wish is supposed to come true. It is also common for the "birthday boy" or "birthday girl" to cut the initial piece of the cake like as a newlywed couple might with a wedding cake. Typical birthday party decorations include balloons, streamers and confetti.<br /><br />For special birthdays and for when the number of candles might be considered impractical or a fire hazard, special candles might be substituted for the many individual candles.
