Happy birthday niece and I wish that you have everything you desire in your lap! | Remarks about the translation | "xronia polla" we say in Greece for "happy birthday" and also for the "name day".
But in english if it's not birthday and it's just the name day then you say "happy name's day" and not "happy birthday". |
