Mañanitas with mariachi
One of the most popular traditions in Mexico is to sing or play a well-known song called ”las mañanitas”. For generations, professional mariachis have been hired to liven up the evening with this melody.
To this day it is not clear who the real composer of this song was, but it is more or less believed that it was born between the XVI and XVII centuries when the Spanish religious arrived in Mexico and spread their propaganda through music.
It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that the song became a true national symbol, an essential part of any event and turned into a tradition. Since then, the song ”las mañanitas” has been covered, as well as small parts and modifications have been added depending on the region in which it is heard.
Mañanitas with Mariachi for birthdays
As we mentioned before, ”las mañanitas” is one of the popular songs that can’t be missing in any party, whether it’s a family event or enjoying with friends. A date as important as a birthday is also a great occasion for the melody of this song to be heard loudly.
One of the versions usually sung on birthdays is that of Manuel M. Ponce, founder of Mexican musical nationalism, who gave body and form to the song until it became one of the most sung throughout the country.

Mañanitas Lyrics
Que cantaba el rey David
Hoy por ser día de tu santo
Te las cantamos aquí
Mira que ya amaneció
Ya los pajaritos cantan
La luna ya se metió
En que vengo a saludarte
Venimos todos con gusto
Y placer a felicitarte
Nacieron todas las flores
En la pila del bautismo
Cantaron los ruiseñores
Ya la luz del día nos dio
Levántate de mañana, mira que ya amaneció
Para poder demostrarte lo mucho que yo te quiero
Con jazmines y flores este día quiero adornar
Hoy por ser día de tu santo
Te venimos a cantar
Of the many versions that are sung around the world, we can highlight the one by the artist Vicente Fernández, which you can read in these lines.
