Success Happy

Can somebody write down the lyrics of Norwegian Happy birthday song?

One of my Norwegian friends has his birthday tomorrow and I want to gratulate him in Norwegian way. Thanks in advance, Bálint

1. In Norway they don't have a norwegian song for Happy Birthday as the one we all know. But when you great someone on his birthday you say: GRATULERER MED DAGEN! You pronounce it: GRA-TU-LE-RER MED DA(A)GEN. This (a) means that the sound of the a has to be a bit extended. And the "a" you don't pronounce as in the word day, but as in the word above. Directly translated will mean: Congratulations on your day. There is a song but not the translated version of the worldwide know Happy Birthday song and it has a very different melody. This song is very short and said : Hurra for deg som gyller dit år, del vig vi gratulerer. That translated will be "Hurray for you that you are on your day today, receive our congratulations"
2. Gratulerer med dagen, gratulerer med dagen, gratulerer kjære *insert name of your friend*, gratulerer med dagen! If you're not a native speaker, it might just be a bit difficult to sing this, though =P A "Gratulerer med dagen" should do it, if you don't feel like trying to sing =)
3. my answer from yesterday disappeared: see http://www.carla.umn.edu/lctl/VAVA/audio/norwegian/ where the second item is the Norwegian birthday song -- both transcript and sound clip. Alliete's answer didn't quite get the words right gyller dit år fyller ditt år -- get another year older (fills your year)
