Wie is er morgen jarig?
Dat ben jij!
Wie is er morgen jarig?
Dat ben jij!
Wie is er morgen jarig?
Dat ben jij!
Wie is er morgen jarig?

dutch lyric: Wie is er morgen jarig :
Songs O or Birthday songs

commentary: This song is sung the day before a child's birthday.

In Dutch the expression 'it's his birthday' is literally: 'he is aging one year' or better 'he is yearing' ('hij is jarig').

So this song says literally translated: 'Who is yearing tomorrow? That is you!'.
