Cielito Lindo is a classic mariachi song written by Quirino Mendoza Cortes in 1882. Its title 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." It's a romantic serenade, with lyrics that express admiration for a loved one's beauty and a desire to be with them. The song is believed to have been inspired by Mendoza's experiences as a musician and composer in Mexico City. Over time, Cielito Lindo became a beloved standard of Mexican music, covered by countless artists and featured in various films, including the 1936 movie Cielito Lindo.
