Thread Name: Origins: Las Mananitas (Mexican birthday song)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Las Mananitas (Mexican birthday song)
I know of a Roman Catholic parish which has a Spanish language Mass.
THis parish is in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
so, just north of the border.

A mariachi group (although with no brass, an accordion instead)
provides all the music for the Mass.
And before the service begins,
they always sing Las Mananitas.

Their version begins with

Que linda esta la manana
En que vengo a saludarte ...
