[English]
These are the morning songs
That King David used to sing
Today, because it's your birthday
We sing them to you
Wake up, my dear, wake up
Look, the dawn has arrived
The little birds are singing
The moon has already set
How beautiful the morning is
When I come to greet you
We all come with joy
And pleasure to congratulate you
On the day you were born
All the flowers were born
And in the baptismal font
The nightingales sang
The dawn is coming
The light of day has come to us
Get up in the morning
Look, the dawn has arrived
Congratulations
Congratulations
