Pájaro que abandona, Cielito lindo, su primer nido ... - Jahr zur Musik

Pájaro que abandona, Cielito lindo, su primer nido,
Si lo encuentra ocupado, Cielito lindo, bien merecido.
Ese lunar que tienes, Cielito lindo, junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie, Cielito lindo, que a mí me toca.
Si tu boquita morena, Fuera de azúcar, fuera de azúcar,
Yo me lo pasaría, Cielito lindo, chupa que chupa.
De tu casa a la mía Cielito lindo, no hay más que un paso,
Antes que venga tu madre, Cielito lindo, dame un abrazo.
Una flecha en el aire, Cielito lindo, lanzó Cupido,
y como fue jugando, Cielito lindo, yo fui el herido.

"Cielito Lindo" is a popular traditional song of Mexico, changed by
Quirino Mendoza y Cortés who got new tunes and added a refrain and more verses.
In recent decades it has come to be widely known as a theme song for Mexicans,
particularly in international circumstances, like the soccer championship World Cup,
where Mexican fans sang it to the Mexican national team.
Cielo means sky or heaven. Cielito would be "sweetie". Lindo means beautiful.
In the early 1600s armed bandits lived in the Sierra Morena mountains of Spain and
one risked one's life going there.
The first verse of "Cielito Lindo" was written in a song from that time.
But as time moved along so did the meaning of the verse as people began
romanticizing it.
"Your face is the Sierra Morena. Your eyes are thieves who live there."
The verse had other melodies put to it and variations of the lyrics.
