"Happy Birthday" generally seems to be ¡Feliz cumpleaños! but the Spanish version of the little birthday ditty inverts it:

"Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday, dear X,

Happy Birthday to you"

is

"Cumpleaños Feliz,

Te deseamos a ti,

Qué los cumplas en tu día,

Qué los complas feliz."
