7 Spanish original English translation Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David. Hoy por ser día de tu santo, te las cantamos a ti. Despierta mi bien, despierta, mira que ya amaneció 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 tu naciste nacieron todas las flores y en la pila del bautismo cantaron los ruiseñores Ya viene amaneciendo, ya la luz del día nos dio. Levántate de mañana mira que ya amaneció. These are like the morning songs that our King David used to sing. Today being the day of your saint, we are going to sing them to you. Wake up my dearest, wake up, see now that the day has dawned now the little birds are singing, the moon has finally set. How lovely it is in this morning, when I come to greet for you we all come with joy and pleasure and to celebrate with you. The very day you were born all the flowers here have bloomed and in the baptismal font all the nightingales have sung. The dawn has come my darling, and the sunlight's here for us. Rise and shine up with the morning and you'll see that here's the dawn.
