Talk:Las Mañanitas

"European Spanish"
The article claims the song is of Mexican origin (btw, it would be great to know more about its origin). Why are the lyrics under a heading "European Spanish" then? Jergas (talk) 04:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

"Dia de tu Santo" IS NOT the same as birthday
The article says: "The word Santo (Saint), is a synonym of cumpleaños (birthday)." It is not. It is the day of the patron saint, which, yes, often was the saint who was celebrated on the exact day of the individual's birth, but more often than not was NOT. People were named for saints who were celebrated around their day of birth, not necessarily on the exact day, and quite often they were named after saints who had nothing to do with their day of birth. (Today, of course, they are often given names that are not "saintly" at all.) The major point missing in this section of the article is that in all Catholic countries the "saint day" was, in fact, traditionally much more important than the birthday and was celebrated instead of the birthday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.161.194 (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. Removed the claim. My name is Mercy11 (talk) 21:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC), and I approve this message.
 * I agree with your precisions, and maybe my comment is not germane, but I have heard old people in Mexico refer to the birthday colloquially as "santo". Jergas (talk) 04:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Mañanitas (Estas son las...) and Mañanitas Tapatías (Qué linda está...) are TWO different songs.
Las Mañanitas (Estas son las mañanitas...) and Mañanitas Tapatías (Qué linda está la mañana...) are TWO different songs sung at two different speeds although traditionally (since the 1940s) most mariachis/ bands/ choirs/ soloists sing the songs in combined fashion starting with the slower Las Mañanitas and segueing into the faster Las Mañanitas Tapatías, usually with a guitarrón (bass) solo in the key of Sol: G E D C B A G. 76.185.167.7 (talk) 11:35, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
