This is a traditional Mexican birthday song that is often sung at birthday parties, anniversaries, and serenatas. Today, we present Las Mañanitas (music here) for bdot.” He clears his throat, a bell note is heard, and he starts singing:

What is Las Mañanitas? It is a children’s song, poetically translated as: “These are the lovely mañanitas that were sung by King David. Today we sing them to a loved one who will be happy. Wake up this early morning and the sun you will see. As the moon leaves us this morning, all the birds they will sing. How beautiful is the morning that I come to share with you. We all come in celebration of this special day just for you. The day, it is a dawning and the light of day has come. Awaken early this morning to see all that we have done.”
