My Pretty Sunshine

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing out and don’t cry
As singing out rejoices
My pretty sunshine, our sad hearts
 
That is Sierra, brunette girl,1
My pretty sunshine,2 where it comes from
This pair of beautiful black eyes
My pretty sunshine, they are unlawful
x2
 
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing out and don’t cry
As singing out rejoices
My pretty sunshine, our sad hearts
x2
 
And the birthmark you have got
My pretty sunshine, right next to your mouth
You can grant it to no one
My pretty sunshine, I am its master
x2
 
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Sing out and don’t cry
As singing out rejoices
My pretty sunshine, our sad hearts
x2
 
  • 1. The first line of the first original edition reads 'De la Sierra, Morena, .....' Mind the commas
  • 2. In fact, 'cielito' means 'the sun', not 'the sky'

Hi Nadia, a couple of corrections and suggestions if you don't mind:

My pretty sunshine - My pretty darling1
That is Sierra, brunette girl - From the Sierra Morena2
rejoices - gladdens
are unlawful - are contraband

Hope they help.
