A sweet senorita
One night at a gala fiesta
A picture in fine Spanish laces
With one of those pretty faces
The music and moonlight
The spell of a June night
Brought romance in all it's glory
The star of sweet love's story
My-yi-yi-yi
He won my heart amigo
He said that he loved no one but me
So off to the chapel we go-o
My-yi-yi-yi
There is a part we will know-ow
He'll bring the ring
The choir will sing
So wish me like my amigo
He happened to meet her
A sweet senorita
One night at a gala fiesta
A picture in fine Spanish laces
With one of those pretty faces
The music and moonlight
The spell of the June night
The charm of an old Spanish setting
Brought romance in all it's glory
The star of the sweet love's story
My-yi-yi-yi
He won my heart amigo
He said that he loved no one but me
So off - to the chapel we go-o
My-yi-yi-yi
There is a part we will know-ow
He'll bring the ring
The choir will sing
The bells will ring a-ting-a-ling
So wish me luck amigo
The lyrics of Mills Brothers' song "Cielito Lindo" tells the story of a man who meets a beautiful woman at a gala fiesta. The woman was adorned in fine Spanish laces and had one of those pretty faces. The music and moonlight, coupled with the charm of the old Spanish setting created an atmosphere of romance that brought them together. The man found the woman irresistible, and he won her heart. He swore that he loved no one else but her, and they decided to get married. As they head to the chapel, the man promises that the choir will sing and the bells will ring, wishing him luck on his journey to love and happiness.
The composition "Cielito Lindo," which translates to "pretty little sky" in English, is a traditional Mexican song. The song was written by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés in 1882 during the period of Mexican history known as the Porfiriato, a time of modernization and economic growth. The song is often associated with Mexico's War of Independence and has become a symbol of national pride.

Time = 20.04-until-20.13 on Saturday evening.
There was thick Foggy dew at Northern part of Vindön.
But as it remarkable Disappeared,20.04-and a Yellow/Golden shining Vehicle
was hiding in the foggy dew. At 20.13 a Man,with a Rifle,shoot two times,from
under the Discus shaped UFO. That was 20.13.
As we,5 persons= Uno Skälegård ( Died some years ago)
And Driver of the Car,Volvo PV 444,was Bert Kjelldahl.
And by his right side sat Carina Christensson.
And Me,Thomas Kallmyr sat behind Carina.
On my left side,Uno skälegård,and behind the Driver was Kent-Erik Christensson.
He is little brother to Carina.
As we travelled from Henån,this evening,me came some kilometers from Vindö-Marin-boat
Company,theres a strange,changing channels on Berts radio....
And then an Intense Sound-many Frequencies at the same time,harmonic but strong..
And as it grew stronger-Bert tried to shut up the Radio-so he at last took away the FUSE.
He told us that we are about to see something very strange.
Lucky he forgot to Trim the Motor,before weekend,so Max speed was downhill from
southern entrance,of the Southern Bridge,leading to the Vindön-Tunnel....
We saw the Gigantic Ship Hoover at the Northern side of Vindön-mountain.
One Third of the UFO was seen,as we came from the souther n side,night was Black.
But the UFO just Quiet,and completely still hanging in the Night....
Just above the Nötesund-Bridge,in the Bright Colours of yellow-Golden.
When we had,aproximative was almost through the Tunnel,we heard "Klang- Klang".
it was the Bullits that hit under the Ship/UFO-the before mentioned man,that
shot from standing under the Wessel/UFO/Ship-20.13 o clock.
A Bright Light-enters the Northern opening of the Tunnel-the Motor Stopped exactly then.
It burned in the head,so strong this intense light was. It was an EMP = electric magnetic pulse.
But as we put off the gearbox,the clutch and without gear,as in Neutral.
We rolled out of the Tunnel.And we did not see the 5 or 6 white flashes of light,along the travel path,because we was in the Tunnel,at that Moment.But we did see the appearing Red ruby Glittering Whirling cloud. And also Seconds after,the Dark blue Star-miles away.
When that Blue Four Edged Star vanished,so did the Gigantic Red Luminouse whirling
cloud imploded.

One of the most talented vocal groups that ever took to the stage....Simply in a class all their own.
@schatman1335
The virtuoso rhythm guitarist here is Cliff White (d. 1998), longtime guitarist and bandleader for Sam Cooke. Known for his full chords and driving beat, Cliff joined the Mills Brothers when their regular guitarist Norman Brown was drafted in World War II.
@kathyoverton998
The first guitarist was John Miller Junior, one of the brothers who also sang. He died in the mid 30s. And they had to get two guys to replace him - a guitarist, and his father, John Sr, as vocalist.
