"A di mi yere yu friyari" is a very popular birthday song in Suriname.
Kids like to shout "hachoo" (an onomatopoeia of a sneeze) after the first verse just because it rhymes.
The origin of the lyrics of "A di mi yere yu friyari" are unknown.
The written record of the tune can be traced to 1858 in a book called The Union Harp and Revival Chorister, selected and arranged by Charles Dunbar, and published in Cincinnati.
In December 1858 a Brooklyn Sunday school published a version called "Brothers, Will You Meet Us" with the words and music of the "Glory Hallelujah" chorus, and the opening line "Say, brothers will you meet us", under which title the song then became known.
