Cielito Lindo
Gabriella Ferri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

De la Sierra Morena, cielito lindo,
Vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros, cielito lindo,
De, contrabando.

De la Sierra Morena, cielito lindo,
Vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros, cielito lindo,
De, contrabando.

Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran los corazones,
Cielito lindo,
Los corazones.

Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo,
Junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo,
Que a mí me toca.

Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo,
Junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo,
Que a mí me toca.

Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran los corazones,
Cielito lindo,
Los corazones.

Pájaro que abandona, cielito lindo,
Su primer nido,
Se lo encuentra ocupado, cielito lindo,
Bien merecido.

Pájaro que abandona, cielito lindo,
Su primer nido,
Se lo encuentra ocupado, cielito lindo,
Bien merecido.

Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran los corazones,
Cielito lindo,
Los corazones.

Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran los corazones,
Cielito lindo,
Los corazones





(Gracias a Marco por esta letra)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gabriella Ferri's song Cielito Lindo talk about a pair of black eyes coming down from the Sierra Morena mountains, smuggled into town. The singer warns the owner of the mole mark by her mouth to not give it to anyone else as it belongs to her. The song ends with a metaphor where a bird leaves its first nest only to find it occupied when it returns.


The lyrics of Cielito Lindo represent a traditional form of Mexican love song called a "corrido." It was allegedly written by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés in 1862 during the Mexican War of Independence. The song is still a popular tune, and it has been covered by many artists worldwide. It has been used in countless movies and is often played at soccer games.
