[English]

Al llegar esta fecha esperada

As this awaited date arrives

Te venimos a felicitar

We come to congratulate you

Porque tú eres la prenda adorada

Because you are the cherished one

A quien quiero formarle un altar

To whom I want to build an altar

Te deseamos que dures mil años

We wish you to last a thousand years

Con toda nuestra sinceridad

With all our sincerity

Que te olvides de los desengaños

May you forget the disappointments

Que sean llenos de felicidad

May your days be filled with happiness

En este día de tu santo, quiero que tú me permitas

On this day of your saint, I want you to allow me

Que te dedique mi canto

To dedicate my song to you

Que serán tus mañanitas

That will be your morning serenade

Muchas, pero muchas felicidades

Many, many congratulations

Yo quisiera ser ángel del cielo

I wish I could be an angel from heaven

Y a tus puertas venirte a cantar

And come to your door to sing

Y en tu santo cumplirte tu anhelo

And on your saint fulfill your wish

Y ofrecerte una dicha sin par

And offer you unmatched joy

Ya la luna se está despidiendo

The moon is already saying goodbye

Pero el sol ya empezó a despuntar

But the sun has begun to rise

No queremos que sigas durmiendo

We don't want you to keep sleeping

Nuestro canto te hará despertar

Our song will wake you up

Hoy te haremos compañía

Today we will keep you company

Perdona nuestras necedades

Forgive our foolishness

Para desearte en tu día una y mil felicidades

To wish you on your day a thousand congratulations

Muchas felicidades, muchas, pero muchas

Many congratulations, many, many

Los jilgueros te brindan sus trinos

The goldfinches offer you their trills

Y su ofrenda te vienen a dar

And come to give you their gift

Es por eso que alegres venimos

That's why we come joyfully

Te venimos a felicitar

We come to congratulate you

Ya despierta, mi bien, ya despierta

Wake up now, my dear, wake up

Y ya deja de tanto soñar

And stop dreaming so much

Aquí estamos al pie de tu puerta

Here we are at your door

Ya despierta, te quiero abrazar

Wake up now, I want to hug you
