Las Mañanitas
Estas son las mañanitas
Que cantaba el rey David
Hoy, por ser día de tu santo
Te las cantamos aquí
Despierta, mi bien, despierta
Mira que ya amaneció
Ya los pajaritos cantan
La Luna ya se metió
Qué linda está la mañana
En que vengo a saludarte
Venimos todos con gusto
Y placer a felicitarte
El día en que tú naciste
Nacieron todas las flores
En la pila del bautismo
Cantaron los ruiseñores
Ya viene amaneciendo
Ya la luz del día nos dio
Levántate de mañana
Mira que ya amaneció
Quisiera ser solecito
Para entrar por tu ventana
Y darte los buenos días
Acostadita en tu cama
Quisiera ser un San Juan
Quisiera ser un San Pedro
Para venirte a cantar
Con la música del cielo
Con jazmines y flores
Hoy te vengo a saludar
Hoy por ser día de tu santo
Te venimos a cantar
The Morning Greetings
These are the morning greetings
That King David used to sing
Today, since it's your special day
We're singing them for you here
Wake up, my dear, wake up
Look, the dawn has arrived
The little birds are singing
The moon has gone away
What a beautiful morning
As I come to greet you
We all come with joy
And pleasure to congratulate you
On the day you were born
All the flowers came to life
At the baptismal font
The nightingales sang
The dawn is breaking
The light of day has come
Get up in the morning
Look, the dawn has arrived
I wish I were a little sun
To shine through your window
And wish you good morning
While you're cozy in your bed
I wish I were a St. John
I wish I were a St. Peter
To come and sing to you
With the music from the heavens
With jasmine and flowers
Today I come to greet you
Today, since it's your special day
We're here to sing for you
