Throughout the match — the iconic Mexican anthem

Lyrics

De la Sierra Morena, cielito lindo Vienen bajando Un par de ojitos negros, cielito lindo De contrabando Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones Pájaro que abandona, cielito lindo Su primer nido Si lo encuentra ocupado, cielito lindo Bien merecido Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran 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, canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones

translateEnglish Translation

From the Sierra Morena, pretty little sky They come descending A pair of dark eyes, pretty little sky Smuggled in Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and don't cry Because singing makes glad Pretty little sky, the hearts A bird that abandons, pretty little sky Its first nest If it finds it taken, pretty little sky Well deserved Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and don't cry Because singing makes glad Pretty little sky, the hearts That beauty mark you have, pretty little sky Beside your mouth Don't give it to anyone, pretty little sky For it belongs to me Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and don't cry Because singing makes glad Pretty little sky, the hearts

ay ay ay AY, CAN-ta y no LLO-res / por-que can-TAN-do se a-LE-gran

Melody: Traditional Mexican folk song (1882) — one of the most recognized melodies in the world

Why It Matters

Cielito Lindo is to Mexico what "Three Lions" is to England — but it's 100 years older. Written in 1882, it transcends football. When 80,000 Mexican fans sing "ay, ay, ay, ay" in unison at the Azteca, it creates one of the most spine-tingling moments in world football. The song tells you: we may lose, but we'll sing through the pain.

Beautiful and beloved Mexico If I die far from you Let them say I am asleep And bring me back here Let them say I am asleep And bring me back here Beautiful and beloved Mexico If I die far from you Voice of my guitar As morning awakens I want to sing the joy Of my Mexican land I sing to its volcanoes To its meadows and flowers That are like talismans Of the love of my loves Beautiful and beloved Mexico If I die far from you Let them say I am asleep And bring me back here
