Lyrics and translation María Toledo - CIELITO LINDO

CIELITO LINDO

De la Sierra Morena, 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.

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.

Siempre que te enamores, mira primero, mira primero,
Dónde pones los ojos, cielito lindo, no llores luego.

De cien dificultades, Cielito Lindo, que el amor tiene,
Tengo yo ya vencida, Cielito Lindo, noventa y nueve.

¡Ay, ay, ay, ay! Me falta una y esa pienso vencerla,
Cielito Lindo, con la fortuna.

Si alguna duda tienes, Cielito Lindo, de mi pasión,
Toma un cuchillo y abre, Cielito Lindo, mi corazón.
Si alguna duda tienes, primito mío, de mi pasión,
Toma un cuchillo y abre, primito mío, mi corazón.

¡Ay, ay, ay, ay! Pero con tiento, ten cuidado no me lastimes,
Cielito Lindo, que estás tú dentro.

CIELITO LINDO

From the Sierra Morena, my beautiful dear,
Here come a pair of black eyes,
My beautiful dear, contraband.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! Sing and don't cry because singing
Brings joy, my beautiful dear, to the hearts.

That beauty mark you have, my beautiful dear,
Next to your mouth, don't give it to anyone,
My beautiful dear, because it belongs to me.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! Sing and don't cry because singing
Brings joy, my beautiful dear, to the hearts.

Whenever you fall in love, look first, look first,
Where you put your eyes, my beautiful dear, don't cry later.

Of the hundred difficulties, my beautiful dear, that love has,
I have already overcome ninety-nine, my beautiful dear.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! There is one left, and I intend to overcome it,
My beautiful dear, with luck.

If you have any doubts, my beautiful dear, about my passion,
Take a knife and open, my beautiful dear, my heart.
If you have any doubts, my dear cousin, about my passion,
Take a knife and open, my dear cousin, my heart.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! But be careful, don't hurt me,
My beautiful dear, because you are inside.
