Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las Mañanitas by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Estas son las mañanitas
These are the morning songs
Que cantaba el rey David
That King David sang
Hoy por ser día de tu santo
Today, since it's your saint's day
Te las cantamos aquí
We sing them to you here
Despierta, mi bien, despierta
Wake up, my love, wake up
Mira que ya amaneció
Look that it's already dawn
Ya los pajaritos cantan
The little birds are already singing
La luna ya se metió
The moon has already gone down
Qué linda está la mañana
How lovely the morning is
En que vengo a saludarte
On which I come to greet you
Venimos todos con gusto
We all gladly come
Y placer a felicitarte
And with pleasure to congratulate you
El día en que tú naciste
The day that you were born
Nacieron todas las flores
All the flowers were born
En la pila del bautizo
At the baptismal font
Cantaron los Ruiseñores
The Nightingales sang
Ya viene amaneciendo
Dawn is already coming
Ya la luz del día nos dio
The daylight has already reached us
Levántate de mañana
Get up this morning
Mira que ya amaneció
Look that it's already dawn
Si yo pudiera bajarte
If I could bring down for you
Las estrellas y un lucero
The stars and one bright star
Para poder demostrarte
So that I could show you
Lo mucho que yo te quiero
How much I love you
Con jazmines y flores
With jasmines and flowers
Este día quiero adornar
I want to adorn this day
Hoy por ser día de tu santo
Today, since it's your saint's day
Te venimos a cantar
We come to sing to you
