Las Mananitas Lyrics
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.

Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte,
Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte,
Ya viene amaneciendo, ya la luz del día nos dio,
Levántate de mañana, mira que ya amaneció.

El día en que tu naciste nacieron todas las flores
En la pila del bautismo, cantaron los ruiseñores
Quisiera ser solecito para entrar por tu ventana
Y darte los buenos días acostadita en tu cama

Quisiera ser un San Juan, quisiera ser un San Pedro
Para venirte a cantar con la música del cielo
De las estrellas del cielo tengo que bajarte dos
Una para saludarte y otra para decirte adiós

Translation:
This is the morning song that King David sang
Because today is your saint's day we're singing it for you
Wake up, my dear*, wake up, look it is already dawn
The birds are already singing and the moon has set
How lovely is the morning in which I come to greet you
We all came with joy and pleasure to congratulate you
The morning is coming now, the sun is giving us its light
Get up in the morning, look it is already dawn

The day you were born all the flowers were born
On the baptismal font the nightingales sang
I would like to be the sunshine to enter through your window
to wish you good morning while you're lying in your bed

I would like to be a Saint John I would like to be a Saint Peter
To sing to you with the music of heaven
Of the stars in the sky I have to lower two for you
One with which to greet you and the other to wish you goodbye

U Hrvatskoj je pjesma postala poznata po filmu "Jedan dan života", - Un dia de Vida -1950. (http://www.youtube.com/user/45kladje#p/u/1/CTEnD4vAtpQ)

  • Oh my God! This mariachi is great! It sounds a lot better than some Mexican mariachis! from now on, I'm a big fan of Croatia. Viva Croatia! I think I'll move there when I retire in about 5 years. I just hope that they have musica nortena too.

  • This song is so beautiful. It was my mother's very favorite. She passed away in May 2011, and this song brings her closer to me. Thank you it's perfect.

  • Muy Buena!

  • @amedeusmozart This is the traditional song we sing to someone on their birthday xD

  • I hope Los Caballeros eventually do some of the songs of Jose Alfredo Jimenez, some of the most beautiful poetry ever written in the spanish language. Los Caballeros are as polished as some of the best in Mexico. Im from Calif but my parents are Mexican and I grew up listening to mariachis.

    Greetings and happy new year from San Francisco California to Croatia and (lets all be friends) to my beloved Serbian friends.

  • Los Caballeros are one of the best Mariachis outside of Mexico, when they play and sing their love of the music is obvious. Ivan is a wonderful singer sounds very authentic and Mexican.Even other spanish speaking countries cant always get the Mexican singing and harmony right.They do justice to the music and to Mexico.

    Mexico loves Los Caballeros and Croatia. Que Dios los bendiga!

    Viva Mexico! Viva Croatia !Viva Villa! VivaTudjman! Viva La Virgen de Medjugorje!

  • @HeLeX63 They are fantastic but its obvious you havent heard the best mexican mariachis.Try not to make ignorant comments. Viva Mexico Viva Croatia

  • muy bien. felicitaciones.

  • Mother Mexica still crying...

    Because of the evils of crime and the mafia...

  • They sound better than the Mexicans......Bravo CROATIA

  • Svaka Cast ali HRVATI znaju Zapijevat.......
