Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could give me any information about the song that begins "Ta Elagu"? I think it may be a song sung on birthdays but I'm trying to figure out where it came from or when it started being used?
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Julie

Hello and welcome to the Estonia Forum!
The song you are asking about is an Estonian birthday song and according to my wife isn't used that much anymore.
Lyrics are:
Ta elagu! Ta elagu! Ta elagu!
Ja teine kord: Ta elagu! Ta elagu! Ta elagu!
Ja kolmas kord: Ta elagu! Ta elagu! Ta elagu!
Ja tuhat kord: Ta elagu! Ta elagu! Ta elagu!
Ja tema õnn see õitsegu, see õitsegu, see õitsegu.
I don't know off the top of my head the other historical information you are asking, but I will look into it for you or perhaps someone else here knows.
