About Old Town School of Folk Music's Song of the Session

Join us in embracing Old Town School's Song of the Session, a unique and cherished aspect of our group music classes. This tradition not only connects our community but also celebrates cultural diversity through the universal language of music.

During each class session, we carefully select a song to be played and explored across all our kids' classes, family jams, and more. The Song of the Session transcends instruments, voices, ages, and musical styles, creating a harmonious blend of diverse expressions that resonate through the entire school. Let's all learn, share, and play together!

Kids Songs of the Session - "Cielito Lindo"

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month we want to hear all our niños singing Ay, ay, ay, ay!

We have included the lyrics below, as well as a downloadable chord chart to use when practicing and playing at home.

Cielito Lindo- lyrics

3/4 time signature

De la Sierra Morena, Cie lito lindo, vienen bajando,
Un par de ojitos negros, Cielito lindo, de contrabando.

Ay, ay, ay, ay, Can - ta y no llores,
Porque cantan do se a-le- gran,
Cielito lindo, los corazones.

Ese lunar que tienes, Cielito lindo, junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie, Cielito lindo, que a mí me toca.

Ay, ay, ay, ay....

Pájaro que abandona, Cielito lindo, su primer nido,
Vuelve y lo halla ocupado Cielito lindo, bien merecido.

Ay, ay, ay, ay...

Una flecha en el aire, Cielito lindo, lanzó Cupido,
y como fue jugando, Cielito lindo, yo fui el herido.

Ay, ay, ay, ay...

De tu casa a la mía, Cielito lindo, no hay más que un paso,
Antes que venga tu madre, Cielito lindo, dame un abrazo.

Ay, ay, ay, ay...
