Las Otras Mañanitas

The greeting I bring you on this day
Is the show of friendship that I give you
If you are still asleep
Wake up so you can hear my song

I only come accompanied by my buddies
Who offer you their friendship just like me
Sleepless and cold, the mariachis
Ask for something to warm us up

Please turn on the light, it costs you nothing
I want to dedicate another song to you
We're already here, open the door for us
And offer us a drink of liquor

It's your saint's day and we've come to sing to you
The night watchman listens to us attentively
I beg you, I plead with you, I ask you
Invite us to come into the dining room

The police car has passed by several times
And puts us in a very difficult situation
If they take us to jail, it's your fault
For not giving us a proper invitation

I swear we didn't come to beg
Nor to receive your ingratitude
But it's sad that we arrived and left
Without raising a toast to your health

After singing and singing so much
My throat hurts
We almost got thrown out
Of that water that stuns us

The lights are already on, my buddies
The saint's light heard us and woke up
Be ready to run if they throw water
Or another liquid that stains our honor

But look, the doors are already open
Enter, holy pilgrims, please
And let's shout together: Long live, long live
And three cheers for the saint who gave himself
