Las Mañanitas
Alejandro Fernández
The Little Mornings
Today, for being your saint's day
We come to sing to you.
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,
And in the baptismal font
The nightingales sang.
Dawn is breaking
The light of day has come,
Get up in the morning
Look, it's already dawn.
From the stars in the sky
I have to bring you two,
One to greet you
And another to bid you farewell.
Four doves flew
Through all the cities,
Today, for being your saint's day
We wish you happiness.
With jasmines and flowers
Today I come to greet you,
Today, for being your saint's day
We come to sing to you.
These are the little mornings
That King David used to sing,
Today, for being your saint's day
We sing them to you.
Wake up my dear, wake up
Look, it's already dawn,
The birds are singing
The moon has already set.
