Lyrics[]
De la Sierra Morena
Vienen bajando, vienen bajando
Unos ojitos negros
Cielito lindo de contrabando
Pájaro que abandona
Su primer nido, su primer nido
Regresa y ya no encuentra
Cielo lindo, el bien querido
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
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
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
