Las Mañanitas Tapatias

These are the morning songs
That King David used to sing
Today, being your saint's day
We sing them to you here
Wake up, my dear, wake up
Look, it's already dawn
The birds are already singing
The moon has already set

How beautiful is the morning
In which I come to greet you
We all come with joy
And pleasure to congratulate you

The day you were born
All the flowers were born
At the baptismal font
The nightingales sang

Chorus: The dawn is coming
The daylight has come
Get up in the morning
Look, it's already dawn

I wish I were a little sun
To come through your window
And give you good morning
Lying in your bed
I wish I were a Saint John
I wish I were a Saint Peter
To come and greet you
With the music of heaven

Chorus: With jasmines and flowers
Today I come to greet you
Today, being your saint's day
We come to sing to you
