De una 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.

De tu casa a la mía, Cielito lindo, no hay más que un paso
Antes que venga tu madre, Cielito lindo, dame un abrazo.

¡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.

Literal Translation

From a brown mountain range, Pretty Little Heaven,
Two little black contraband eyes are descending.

Ay, ay, ay, ay! Sing and don’t cry
Because by singing, Pretty Little Heaven, hearts are gladdened.

From your house to mine is no more than a step,
Before your mother comes back, Pretty Little Heaven, give me a hug.

Ay, ay, ay, ay! Sing and don’t cry
Because by singing, Pretty Little Heaven, hearts are gladdened.

That beauty mark, Pretty Little Heaven, that you have next to your mouth
Don’t give it to anyone, because it’s mine (literally "it touches me")

Ay, ay, ay, ay! Sing and don’t cry
Because by singing, Pretty Little Heaven, hearts are gladdened.
