Las Mañanitas
Joni Sandez
The Little Mornings
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
In the baptismal font, the nightingales sang
Dawn is coming and the daylight has given us
To wake you 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 while you're lying in your bed
I wish I were a Saint John, I wish I were a Saint Peter
To come and sing to you with the music from heaven
With jasmines and flowers, I will adorn this day
Today, being your saint's day, we come to sing to you
And on behalf of Joni Sandez
I want to dedicate this song to you
If I could bring down the stars and a bright star
To show you how much I love you
Four doves flew over all the cities
Today, on your birthday, we wish you happiness
Dawn is coming and the daylight has given us
To wake you up in the morning, look, it's already dawn
