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
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ventanas a la calle son peligrosas
Pa' las madres que tienen
Cielito lindo, hijas hermosas
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, y las prefieren
Porque todo el que pasa
Cielito lindo, besarlas quieren
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
Cielito lindo, los corazones
De sepulcro en sepulcro voy preguntando
Que si no han visto a un hombre
Cielito lindo, que murió amando
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay', contesta uno
Mujeres hay millares
Cielito lindo, hombres, ninguno
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
The song Cielito lindo by Mariachi Internacional is a traditional Mexican folk song that has been popular for over a century. The opening line "De la sierra morena," refers to the mountains in the southern region of Spain, and sets the scene for the arrival of two black-eyed girls, who are smuggled into the town. The lyrics are punctuated by the refrain "Ay, ay, ay, ay," which is a common expression of emotion in Mexican music.
The song is sung from the perspective of a man who is infatuated with one of the black-eyed girls, and he warns her to be careful of the dangers of the street. He cautions her against giving away her beauty too freely, as men will try to take advantage of her. The line "Ventanas a la calle son peligrosas" translates to "Windows to the street are dangerous," and is a warning to mothers who have beautiful daughters. The man asks the girl not to share her unique beauty mark, as it is special to him.
The final verse of the song takes a darker turn, as the man is asking around town for any news of a man who died while loving someone. He receives the answer that there are thousands of women, but no men who fit the description. The refrain "Ay, ay, ay, ay" takes on a more mournful tone in this verse, as it seems that the man is searching for a lost love.
