Chorus and story
Oh Emily, my heart is your home With you, Emily, I’m never alone Under the lights of the Christmas tree You are the only one for me
Story: We met eight years ago at a snowy train station in Boston. Emily hums while she bakes gingerbread, wraps every gift in brown paper with handwritten tags, and still wears the red scarf I gave her on our first Christmas.
Chorus and story
Oh Gisela, wir feiern dich heut, In achtzig Jahren hast du so viele erfreut. Gisela, du bist unser Herzstück hier, Wir danken dir heute und gratulieren dir.
Story: Oma Gisela backt jedes Jahr mit allen Enkeln Vanillekipferl, strickt jedem einen Schal und erzählt beim Kartenspielen immer dieselben Witze. Sie wird dieses Jahr 80.
Chorus and story
Joyeux anniversaire, chère Léa Que chaque instant soit un grand éclat On chante pour toi, on danse en chœur Pour que cette année remplisse ton cœur
Story: Léa fête ses 30 ans. Elle collectionne les plantes vertes, fait les meilleures crêpes du quartier le dimanche et part chaque été en randonnée dans les Pyrénées avec son chien Biscotte.
Why a song in their own language means more
For families spread across countries, a song in Grandma’s or Grandpa’s language is a strong gesture: it shows you made an effort to speak to them in their words. It also works for partners, in-laws and friends abroad.
You can write the story in English. The lyrics are written directly in the song language, rhymed and singable, not translated line by line. You see the lyrics before recording; if you speak a little of the language, you can adjust any line.
Tips for songs in another language
A few things help the lyrics sound natural:
- Tell us how the person is addressed in their language, e.g. "Oma", "Mamie" or "Abuela".
- Mention places or foods they connect with home.
- Keep names exactly as they are spelled in that language.
- If you are unsure about the lyrics, ask a relative to read them before you record.
What a German chorus can sound like
An example for Oma Hilde, written from a story in English about a family between New York and Bremen:
Meaning: "Happy birthday, Grandma Hilde, we are thinking of you; from New York to Bremen we never forget you. Your laugh, your cake, your garden in May: you are a little part of every song." Example with an invented name.
