Tell me, my dear beautiful skyCuéntame cielito lindo
Love of my soul, my little consolationAmor de mi alma consuelito mío

You must trust meDebes tenerme confianza
Because that's why we arePorque pa' eso somos

Those eyes full of anguishEsos ojitos de angustia
And your hunched shouldersY tus hombros encojíos'
Confirm to meMe confirman
That hidden romanceEse romance escondío'
Of which there are rumorsDel cual hay murmuraciones
Throughout the whole villageEn todito' el caserío

Tell me what you gaveCuéntame que le entregaste
All that was mineTodo aquello que fue mío
The kisses that led meLos besos que me llevaron
To an unknown placeA un lugar desconocío'
And although everythingY aunque todo
For me is already well knownPara mí ya es bien sabío'
I want to hear it from your lipsQuiero oírlo de tus labios
Even if it falls into the voidAsí caiga en el vacío

Tell me, my dear beautiful skyCuéntame cielito lindo
Where did your image goa dónde fue tu estampa
So strong and fierceTan recia y bravía
That relentlessly criticizedQue criticaba implacable
All my mistakesTodos mis errores
And my foolishness, it must be that you are ashamedY mis tonterías debe ser que te avergüenza
Because I discovered all the wrongPorque descubrí todo el mal
That you did to meQue me hacías

But don't worry about mePero de mí no te ocupes

When you swore to me one dayEn que me juraste un día
To be faithful to meSerme fiel
And that you would respect meY que me respetarías
Before GodAnte Dios

There in the churchAllá en la iglesia
With your family and mineCon tu familia y la mía
When you feel my absenceCuando te estreche mi ausencia
In the cold dawnEn la madrugada fría
And remember your country girlY recuerdes a tu criolla
Full of melancholyLleno de melancolía
Keep in mind that until the end of daysTen presente que hasta el final de los días
No one will give you their soul like I gave you minenadie te entregará el alma como te entregué la mía
