El Día de Tu Cumpleaños

Your Birthday

El Día de Tu Cumpleaños

My little one: You came into this worldM'hijito: Llegaste al mundo
At a very special timeEn hora muy principal
You've rounded a year nowYa redondeaste un año
And I'm here to say hiYo te vengo a saludar
Let them sit at the tableQue se sienten a la mesa
Next to your momAl lado de tu mamá
On the other side let it shineAl otro lado que brille
All the warmth that's left behindTodita la rescoldá

Since I have nothing to give youComo no tengo qué darte
And I wish I could give you moreY yo te quisiera dar
I want the sun's raysYo quiero que los rayitos
To wake you up for sureDel sol te han de despertar
And in the afternoon the bright starY por la tarde el lucero
To come and say helloQue te venga a saludar
Then the moon can followMás atrás venga la luna
With all its shining glowCon toda su claridad

Let them serve you the sweet drinkQue te sirvan la mistela
And the fresh baked breadY la torilla candeal
And put at your windowY pongan a tu ventana
The seasonal flower insteadLa flor de la temporá
In the center of your heartEn el centro de tu pecho
I write to spell it outEscribo por deletrear
That your birthday's a big dealQue el día de tu cumpleaños
No doubt about it, no doubtEs cosa muy principal

On your birthdayEl día de tu cumpleaños
We should raise the flagsHabría que embanderar
From Arica to MagallanesDesde Arica a Magallanes
With colorful ragsCon banderas colorás
Long live your birth¡Que viva tu nacimiento
Little pear blossom!Florecita de peral!
With the will of the heavensCon la voluntad del cielo
May you live a hundred years more!¡Que vivas cien años más!
