Cielito Lindo (1882) / (1919) / Cielito Mio (1921) / My Beautiful Mexican Rose (1924) / Aubade Voor Nina (1939) / You Me and Us (1957) / Ay Ay waar blijft Maria (1972)


"Cielito Lindo" is a traditional Mexican song, composed in 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés , who was inspired by a beautiful birthmark on the face of his wife, whom he had met in the mountains.
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" (Sing and don't cry) or simply the "Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay" song.





In 1927 the song was also contained in Carl Sandburg's "American Songbag".




The first recording of the song was probably made by Trio González for Victor Records in 1919
