Would anyone be so kind and translate this for me? It’s an old postcard I found at a market in Lisboa. I can barely even make out the letters.

Being unable to congratulate you in another manner I hereby come wishing you countless congratulations and I’m asking God that this day may repeat itself for many years, in the company of your husband and all those dear to you.
A hug from your good friend and sister M. Lourdes

Its bassically a sister congratulating her brother for is birthday
