Cielito Lindo
Nana Mouskouri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi bien cuando yo muera, dejar te quiero
Mi corazón al tuyo cielito lindo como un herrero
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay canta y no llores
Muñequita preciosa morena virgen que amas las flores
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

De domingo a domingo, te vengo a ver
Cuando será domingo cielito lindo para volver
De domingo a domingo, yo bien quisiera que
Toda, la semana domingo fuera

Una flecha en el aire, tiró engreído
Y al tirar esa flecha cielito lindo a mí me ha herido
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, mortal herida
Que si tú no la curas cielito lindo pierdo la vida
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Dicen que no se siente, la despedida
Dile al que te lo cuente cielito lindo que se despida
Dicen que no se siente, la despedida
Dile al que te lo cuente que se despida

Yo bien quisiera, que toda la semana, domingo fuera
Muñequita preciosa morena virgen canta y no llores




Muñequita preciosa morena virgen que amas las flores
Muñequita preciosa cielito lindo, canta y no llores
