Cielito Lindo
Alberto Vazquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cielito lindo vienen
Bajando un par
De ojitos negros
Cielito lindo
De contrabando
Ese lunar que
Tienes cielito lindo
No se lo des a nadie
Cielito lindo
Que a mi me toca
Hay, hay, hay
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando
Se alegran cielito lindo
Los corazones
Hay, hay, hay
Canta y no llores
Porque
Cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo
Los corazones
De la sierra morena
Cielito lindo vienen
Bajando un par de
Ojitos negros
Cielito lindo
De contrabando
Una flecha en el aire
Cielito lindo
Tiro cùpido
El la tiró jugando
Cielito lindo
Y a mi me ha herido
Hay, hay, hay
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando
Se alegran cielito lindo
Los corazones
Hay, hay, hay
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando
Se alegran cielito lindo
Los corazoneees
The lyrics of Alberto Vazquez's "Cielito Lindo" speak of the beauty of a young woman from the Sierra Morena mountain range. It is said that she has black eyes and a small mole near her mouth, a feature that is mentioned twice in the song. The lyrics also contain references to contraband, as the woman with the black eyes is said to have been brought down from the mountains "de contrabando," or illegally. The song tells the story of a young man who has been smitten by the woman's beauty, but warns her not to show anyone else the mole near her mouth, as it belongs only to him.
The chorus of the song encourages singing and joy, as it declares that singing is what brings happiness to our hearts. The reference to Cupid shooting an arrow as a way of describing falling in love reinforces this theme of love and happiness. Overall, the song depicts a kind of innocent and joyful love story, with a focus on the beauty of the natural world and the importance of singing and music.
