Holy day of rest, Holy, Holy, day of rest,
The Seventh Day is a day of rest.

Blessed day, sweet Holy day, day of rest,
The Seventh Day is a day of rest.

God rested, it's a day of rest.
God rested, it's a day of rest.

Hi, greetings good night how are you i want to leave this song of Pedro infante its name is en tú día. En tú día. Celebremos señores con gusto este día de placer tan dichoso que tú Santo te encuentre gustosa y tranquila tú fiel corazón, vive feliz en el mundo sin que nadie perturbe tú mente y pondremos un laurel en tú frente con el oro y las conchas del mar, Dios bendiga este día venturoso y bendiga la prenda que adoro hoy los angeles cantan en coro por los años que vas a cumplir las estrellas se visten de gala y la luna se llena de encanto al saber que hoy es día de tú Santo Dios bendiga este día de placer celebremos señores con gusto este día de placer tan dichoso que tú Santo te encuentre gustosa y tranquila tú fiel corazón solamente un recuerdo ha quedado de la infancia que al fin ya pasó, celebremos tú día tan dichoso, tús amigos, parientes y yo. I love you Dana.
