Cielito Lindo Lyrics
[Verso 1]
De la sierra morena, cielito lindo
Vienen bajando un par de ojitos negros
Cielito lindo, de contrabando
Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo, que a mi me toca[Coro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones[Verso 2]
Yo a las morenas quiero desde que supe
Que morena es La Virgen, cielito lindo, de Guadalupe, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay, es bien sabido
Que el amor de morenas, cielito lindo, nunca es fingido, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay[Coro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
