Cielito Lindo
Los Niños Cantores De Navidad Lyrics

The lyrics of "Cielito Lindo" sung by Los Niños Cantores De Navidad is a beautiful depiction of the birth of Jesus Christ. The opening lines, "Ay ay ay ay vienen cantando, los pastorcitos buenos que al rey del cielo están adorando" (Ay ay ay ay they come singing, the good shepherds who are worshiping the king of heaven), introduce the arrival of shepherds paying tribute to the newborn king. The following lines describe the humble manger where the baby Jesus is crying, comforted by his mother, and surrounded by the loving care of the shepherds. The line, "La virgen te consuela, los pastorcitos te están mimando" (The virgin comforts you, the shepherds are pampering you), highlights the maternal and collective care surrounding the baby Jesus.

The next verse presents a dramatic moment - a mischievous donkey ate the straw that baby Jesus was sleeping on, which prompts sympathy for the struggling baby. However, the comforting presence of the shepherds and the beautiful singing of "Todos los niños buenos que en el pesebre te están cantando" (all the good children who are singing to you in the manger) soothe the baby. The next verse introduces the anticipation of the arrival of the Three Wise Men, following the star that guides them to where the baby Jesus lay. The repetition of "Ay ay ay ay vienen cantando" reminds the listeners of the joyful and musical atmosphere of the story's events.

This song's message is centered around community, inclusivity, and celebration of faith. It highlights the importance of collective care towards a vulnerable infant and acknowledges how sincerely people come together in times of celebration to pay homage to their beliefs. Moreover, it emphasizes the bright hope and message of salvation that Jesus' birth brings, "quedan cumplidas las profecías" (the prophecies are fulfilled). It's a song that resonates with people all over the world who celebrate Christmas as it speaks of love, community, and new beginnings.
