Morada, Tierra Amarilla Song
|
In 2006 during the dedication of the new morada at Ensenada, New
Mexico, near Tierra Amarilla, Archbishop Michael Sheehan was
honored by the Penitente Brothers and the attendees by singing a
tribute to the Archbishop. The crucifix on the back wall was
sculpted by Ruben Archuleta and blessed by Archbishop Sheehan.
The words to the song are available below the video.
(Note: The video was taken by a small pocket camera held over the heads of
the congregation so the video is shaky and not the best quality.)

The following words were copied verbatim from the program. You may note that some of the
words are not in the proper Spanish, they are "Spanglish," the way we speak Spanish in
southern Colorado and northern New Mexico.
Mananitas al Arzobispo
Buenos dias Arzobispo, hoy te vengo a saludar,
Saludando tu grandesa en tu reino obispal.
Eres padre de nosotros, y a mi corazon encantas,
gracias te doy con amor. Buenos dias Michael Sheehan.
Arzobispo Michael Sheehan, te venimos a cantar. Por
que eres tan especial te queremos saludar.
Eres pastor de nosotros, y rogamos te levantes, con
gusto te saludamos. Buenos dias Michael Sheehan.
Que linda esta la manana, tu presencia nos anima,
cantandote mananitas antes de romper el alba.
Mi pecho con voz unfana, gracias damos por l' honor,
en este dichoso dia. Buenos dias Michael Sheehan.
Cielo azul you te convido en este dichoso dia a que
prestes tu hermosura al Obispo nuestro guia.
Arzobispo de Santa Fe, danos ya tu bendicion, recibe
estas mananitas. Buenos dias Michael Sheehan.
