Product Description

Cielito Lindo is a popular Mexican song copla, popularized in 1882 by Mexican author Quirino Mendoza y Cortés (c. 18621957). It is roughly translated as "Lovely Sweet One". Although the word cielo means "sky" or "heaven", it is also a term of endearment comparable to "sweetheart" or "honey." Cielito, the diminutive, can be translated as "sweetie"; lindo means "cute", "lovely" or "pretty". Sometimes the song is known by words from the refrain, "Canta y no llores" or simply the "Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay song".

The song is arranged for Classical/Spanish guitar as a solo composition.
