Day after day you explored this world:
You learned to walk and then to run.
Spending December in the embrace of a warm home.
A present was under the tree.
You were so happy!
It was a toy sword!
The blade sliced through the air.
Grow up strong so you can take care of your mom.
Happy New Year, my son!
Spies want to turn you gay,
But they won't bend us over.
After all, our missiles will reach them
In under 20 minutes.
Your whole life is ahead of you! And spring will come soon!
And right after you’ll graduate school.
The sun laughs and the moon whispers.
Happy New Beginnings, son!
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
We will not surrender to these freaks!
Happy New Beginnings! Happy New Beginnings!
We’ll splatter the snow with Sacramental wine!
Here’s the mobilization summons. You won’t need a ticket
For the train to the other country.
Boots, a helmet, and a bulletproof vest
Will need to be bought for the kid.
Tears have frozen in the cold earth.
The wreath will soon wither.
A full shot on the table stands in your honor.
Happy New Year, my son!
A full shot on the table stands in your honor.
Happy New Year, my son!
