WHEN THE MUSIC BECOMES POETRY: Cielito lindo, by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés

CIELITO LINDO

De la sierras morenas, 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. Pájaro que abandona, Cielito lindo, su primer nido, si lo encuentra ocupado, Cielito lindo, bien merecido. Ay! ¡ay! ¡ay! ¡ay! Canta y no llores! Porque cantando se alegran, 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. Ay! ¡ay! ¡ay! ¡ay! Canta y no llores! Porque cantando se alegran, cielito lindo, los corazones.

The brown mountains, Cielito Lindo, come down. A couple of smuggling black eyes, Cielito Lindo. Sing and do not cry! Because rejoice singing, Cielito Lindo, the hearts. Bird leaves, Cielito Lindo, its first nest, if busy, cute, well-deserved Cielito. Sing and do not cry! Because rejoice singing, Cielito Lindo, the hearts. That mole you have, Cielito Lindo, near the mouth. Do not give it to anyone, Cielito Lindo, which touches me. Sing and do not cry! Because rejoice singing, Cielito Lindo, the hearts.

(Quirino Mendoza y Cortés)
