The Dawns

How pretty is the morning
In which I come to greet you
We come all together
Gladly to congratulate you
 
On the day that you were born
All the flowers were born
And in the baptismal font
The nightingales sang
 
Already dawn is coming
Now it has given us the light of day
Get up this morning
See what dawn has now brought
 
I wish I were a little ray of sunlight
To enter through your window
And greet you with Good Morning
Lying in your bed
 
I would like to be a St. John
I would like to be a St. Peter
To come to greet you
With the music of heaven
 
With jasmines and flowers
Today I come to greet you
Today because it is your saint's day
We come to sing to you

Beautiful translation, I can point to this for my non Spanish speaking friends so they can sing along or understand the meaning of the song. Isn't it "Today because it is..." not "if is..."? Just pointing that out.
