Birthdays in your country We Brazilians are used to receiving birthday messages and celebrate with cakes, balloons and other delicious delicacies.Candles are placed on the cake. The birthday boy gives the first slice of the cake to a very special person, usually the mother or father.At the age of 15, girls dance waltz with their father or grandfather. We sing the song Parabéns pra você to you, a Brazilian version of Happy Birthday, the traditional American birthday song.Or we chose a beautiful restaurant where we had dinner with friends and family!
