Trivia: "Cielito Lindo" is a popular traditional Mexican song composed by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés in 1882. Although the words cielito lindo roughly translates into English as "lovely little sky/heaven," it is a term of endearment comparable to referring to someone as "sweetheart."
"Cielito Lindo" is popularly performed by mariachi bands, and has been recorded in its original Spanish language as well as covered in many other different languages and styles throughout the world.

De la Sierra Morena,
cielito lindo, vienen bajando.
Un par de ojitos negros,
cielito lindo, de contrabando.
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
Canta y no llores.
Porque cantando se algeran,
cielito lindo, los corazones.
From the Sierra Morena,
sweet pretty one, they come down.
A pair of little, black eyes,
sweet pretty one, sneaking by.
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
Sing, and don't cry.
Because singing rejoices,
sweet pretty one, our hearts.
