Verse:

That beauty spot you carry Cielito

Lindo, Makes you look fine,

Give it to no one else my Ceilito

Lindo, Because it's mine.

 

Chorus:

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay!

Let's sing a love song.
For when our hearts sing together, Cielito

Lindo Love comes along.

Ese lunar que tienes, Cielito

Lindo, Junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie, Cielito

Lindo Que a mi me toca

 

Coro:

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay,
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando se alegran, Cielito

Lindo, Los corazones
