Las Mañanitas

The Little Mornings

Las Mañanitas

How beautiful is the morningQué linda está la mañana
That I come to greet youEn que vengo a saludarte
We all come with joyVenimos todos con gusto
And pleasure to congratulate youY placer a felicitarte

The day you were bornEl día en que tú naciste
All the flowers were bornNacieron todas las flores
At the baptismal fontEn la pilar del bautismo
The Nightingales sangCantaron los Ruiseñores

Dawn is comingYa viene amaneciendo
The daylight has comeYa la luz del día nos dio
Get up in the morningLevántate de mañana
Look, it's already dawnMira que ya amaneció

From the stars in the skyDe las estrellas del cielo
I have to bring you down twoTengo que bajarte dos
One to greet youUna para saludarte
And another to bid you farewellY otra para decirte adiós

Four doves flewVolaron cuatro palomas
Through all the citiesPor toditas las ciudades
Today, being your saint's dayHoy por ser día de tu santo
We wish you happinessTe deseamos felicidades

With Jasmine and those flowersCon Jazmín y eses flores
Today I come to greet youHoy te vengo a saludar
Today, being your saint's dayHoy por ser día de tu santo
We come to sing to youTe venimos a cantar
