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.

From the Sierra Morena,
lovely heaven, coming down is
A pair of lovely black eyes,
lovely heaven, sneaking by.
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Sing and don’t cry,
Because by singing our hearts are happy, lovely heaven.
That beauty mark that you have
lovely heaven, next to your mouth,
Don’t give it to anyone,
lovely heaven, for it is mine.
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Sing and don’t cry,
Because by singing our hearts are happy, lovely heaven.
