English term or phrase: Good morning Friends
I'm translating a short good morning song. The whole song is:

Good morning Friends
Good morning Friends
Good morning Friends
It's nice to see you


How would l say Good morning Friends(?)

It could be Hello Friend or
Good Morning Everyone

or anything that fits the music.
The music can be found at the link below.
I'm singing the whole song in English.

Explanation:
since you need lyrics for a specific song, you need an "artistic" interpretation that fits the music, not merely a literal translation. the following fits the metrics of the song:
magandang umaga [mah-ghan-dahng oo-mah-gha: "good morning"],
mga kaibigan [mahng-ah kha-ee-bee-ghan: "my friends"].
natutuwa ako [nah-too-too-wah ah-kohng: "i am glad"],
makita kayo [mah-kee-tah kah-yoh: "to see you"]
