From the Sierra Morena
Darling, they're coming down
A pair of little black eyes
Darling, smuggled in
From the Sierra Morena
Darling, they're coming down
A pair of little black eyes
Darling, smuggled in
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing and don't cry
Because singing cheers up
Darling, the hearts
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing and don't cry
Because singing cheers up
Darling, the hearts
That mole that you have
Darling, next to your mouth
Don't give it to anyone
Darling, that it's meant for me
That mole that you have
Darling, next to your mouth
Don't give it to anyone
Darling, that it's meant for me
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing and don't cry
Because singing cheers up
Darling, the hearts
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing and don't cry
Because singing cheers up
Darling, the hearts
Whenever that you fall in love
Look first, look first
Where you set your eyes
Darling, don't cry later
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing and don't cry
Because singing cheers up, darling
The hearts

SONG MEANING

"Cielito Lindo" literally means “pretty little sky,” yet in Mexican Spanish it is a tender way to call someone “my darling.” In this beloved ranchera, the singer spots “un par de ojitos negros” – two mischievous black eyes – slipping down from the Sierra Morena mountains as if they were contraband treasures. Instantly smitten, he celebrates every charming detail, especially the tiny beauty mark beside his sweetheart’s lips, and asks that it be saved for him alone.

The famous refrain “Ay, ay, ay, ay… canta y no llores” is more than a catchy hook; it is a warm reminder that music chases sorrow away. Between playful flirting and light-hearted advice about choosing love wisely, Pedro Infante’s version turns the song into an open-air fiesta where singing becomes the cure for heartbreak. With its joyful melody and affectionate lyrics, “Cielito Lindo” invites listeners to belt along, smile wide, and let their hearts dance right along with the chorus.
