Like in the United States, usually we cut cake, blow candles and make a wish. 

Mi Novia Se Me Esta Poniendo Vieja. (song) Wonderful Spanish song written by a wonderful man about mothers. Mi novia se me esta poniendo vieja (My girlfriend is getting old on me) is amazing and touching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LH1VLXKNIuY#! English translation: She has been my girlfriend since I can remember The good kind of love from when I saw her. I already had a space in my notebook For painting her name and showing off She loved me when beside the finishing line I came last but one in the marathon. She loves me whether insensitive or a poet A genius, a minister or a buffoon Chorus: { My girlfriend is getting old on me And it is a bit difficult for her to walk. Three months without coming over and she Serves another coffee on a tray for her love My girlfriend is getting old on me And I who was beginning to fall in love With the weight of the things that she advises With her universal gift of forgiving } She is my girlfriend and does not blackmail Nor set rules of fidelity. She played cupid for me to every person Regardless of exclusivity She loves me the same whether I go as a guerrilla Or win the Nobel Peace Prize. It is the same to her whether I come last or first Whether I am conformist or stubborn {Chorus} My girlfriend always has a place set In case some day I think about coming back And she prepared a fund (lit: budget) in the bank In case it might be needed some day There is no curve that would distance me from my girlfriend Since there never was a ‘maybe’ on her lips And although the analogy is so obvious You will know that I am talking to you alone Mom

How do you say this in Arabic? When someone sneezes, usually another person says "bless you". Is there an equivalent to this in Arabic? And how do you say "I hope you are doing well" and "i wish you the best" Thank you in advance.

How do you say... In Hindi? "it's been a long time since we have talked" "I hope everything is going good" Thank you

How could I say "It's fine" or "It's OK" in Hindi? For example, a person bumps into me by accident and say "sorry" how could I say "It's fine"?

Song. I feel like making a video of me singing the Hindi song "Emptiness" (female version), but I want to recieve some sort of feedback on it. The song is really nice, and I will learn it, but I need some kind of evaluation on my pronounciation; not my singing. If I make it, would any of you be kind enough to listen to it and tell me how I did?
