Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing and don’t cry
Because singing brings happiness
Lovely sky, to the hearts

Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros
Cielito lindo, de contrabando

Beautiful sky, they come down
A pair of little dark eyes
Lovely sky, smuggled
