2:27 She is literally saying over and over “You are getting older” ending with “the only thing left is your walking stick” 🤣🤣🤣 My family usually add something like “And there’s nothing you can do about that”

[Taemoco]

What surprises me the most, is that almost all of them, have the same melody even if the language is different. I love it

In fact, in Russia we also sing "Happy birthday to you" in the same way as it is presented in Belarus in this video. And the song presented in the video is very interesting, but rather a custom or a game, I think:)

In Mexico we call it "Las Mañanitas" and it has its own rythme, with mariachi and everything 😊🎶
And after singing, we often say "una porra" like "A la vio, a la vao, a la bim bom bam (we say the person's name twice) Ra, ra, raaa!!"
