Spanish Lyrics:
Estas son las mañanitas
que cantaba el rey David
A las muchachas bonitas,
Te las cantamos así.
Despierta, mi bien, despierta,
Mira que almaneció,
Ya los pajarillos 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,
El la pila del bautismo,
cantaron los ruiseñores,
Ya viene amaneciendo,
ya la luz el día nos dio,
Levántate de mañana,
Mira que ya almaneció.
Quisiera ser solecito
para entrar por tu ventana
Y darte los "Buenos Días"
Acostadita/o en tu cama,
Quisiera ser un San Juan,
quisiera ser un San Pedro
Para venirte a cantar
con la música del cielo,
Con jasmines y flores
hoy te vengo a saludar
Hoy por ser día de tu santo,
te venimos a cantar.
English Translation
This is “Las Mañanitas”
that King David sang
to the pretty
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
These are the morning
That King David would sing
Today for being your saint’s day
We sing them here
Wake up, my good, wake up
Look it’s already morning
And the birds sing
And the moon has gone
How lovely is the morning
That I came to greet you
We come with pleasure
And a pleasure to congratulate you
The day you were born
Flowers were born
In the heap of the baptism
The nightingales sangs
The sun is rising
And the light of the day is here
Wake up in the morning, look it’s already morning
If I could lower the stars for you
To show you how much I love you
With jasmines and flowers I want to decorate this day
Today for being the day of your saint
We’ve come to sing for you
