Las Mañanitas is a traditional Mexican song that is sung on birthdays and other important holidays. It is often sung as early morning serenade to wake up a loved one. As a traditional song with a long history, there are variations of Las Mañanitas, with many different verses. At most Mexican parties only the first two verses are sung.
Éstas son las mañanitas This is the morning song that king David sang
que cantaba el rey David Because today is your saint’s day we’re
hoy por ser día de tu santo singing it for you.

la luna ya se metió. has set
