Qué linda está la mañana
en que vengo a saludarte;
venimos todos con gusto
y placer a felicitarte.

El día en que tú 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.
How lovely is the morning
when I come to greet you;
we all come with joy
and pleasure to congratulate you.

The day you were born
all the flowers bloomed
and at the baptismal font
the nightingales sang.

Dawn is breaking;
the light of day has arrived.
Get up early;
look, the sun has already risen.
