Las Mañanitas [English translation]

These are the dawns

That King David sang about

Today because it is your saint’s day

We are singing to you here

Wake up my dear, wake up

See that already dawn has come

And the little birds are singing

The moon has already set

How pretty is the morning

In which I come to greet you

We all come with joy

And pleasure to congratulate you!

On the day that you were born

All the flowers were born

And in the baptismal font

The nightingales sang

Already dawn is arriving

Now it has given us the light of day.

Get up this morning

See what dawn has now brought

(I would like to be a little ray of sunlight

To enter through your window

And greet you with Good Morning

Lying in your bed)

Of the stars in the heavens

I have to bring down two

One is to greet you

And the other is to say good-bye

Four doves flew

From all the towns

Today because it is your saint's day

We want to congratulate you

(I would like to be a St. John

I would like to be a St. Peter

To come to greet you

With the music of heaven)

With jasmine and flowers

Today I come to greet you

Today because it is your saint’s day

We come to sing to you.
