Cielito Lindo

He happened to meet her
A sweet senorita
One night at a gala fiesta
A picture in fine Spanish laces
With one of those pretty faces
The music and moonlight
The spell of a June night
The charm of an old Spanish setting
Brought romance in all it's glory
The star of sweet love's story
My-yi-yi-yi
He won my heart amigo
He said that he loved no one but me
So off to the chapel we go-o
My-yi-yi-yi
There is a part we will know-ow
He'll bring the ring
The choir will sing
So wish me like my amigo
He happened to meet her
A sweet senorita
One night at a gala fiesta
A picture in fine Spanish laces
With one of those pretty faces
