16:42:36 From Melinda Ostrander-Aviles to Everyone :
Cielito lindo De la Sierra Morena,
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando,
Un par de ojitos negros,
Cielito lindo, de contrabando.
(Refrain)
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.
(Estribillo)
Ese lunar que tienes,
Cielito lindo, junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie,
Cielito lindo, que a mí me toca.
(Estribillo)
Si tu boquita morena,
Fuera de azúcar, fuera de azúcar,
Yo me lo pasaría,
Cielito lindo, chupa que chupa.
(Estribillo)
De tu casa a la mía,
Cielito lindo, no hay más que un paso,
Antes que venga tu madre,
Cielito lindo, dame un abrazo.
(Estribillo)
Una flecha en el aire,
Cielito lindo, lanzó Cupido,
y como fue jugando,
Cielito lindo, yo fui el herido.
16:42:47 From Melinda Ostrander-Aviles to Everyone : Heavenly One Versions: #1#2#3 Through dark tresses, heavenly one, a pair of deep brown eyes, lower as they approach, a stolen glance.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and don’t cry, heavenly one, for singing gladdens hearts. https://lyricstranslate.com/en/cielito-lindo-heavenly-one.html

17:29:09 From Melinda Ostrander-Aviles to Everyone : yes
17:29:19 From Nan Beal to Everyone : thanks!
17:29:23 From Joke Verdoold to Everyone : I’ve done this as a project in November, I sang it and it is put up.
17:29:25 From Heather F to Everyone : YES the numbers help you understand the structure of the piece
17:29:31 From Raffaele and Connie,s ipad to Everyone : Love the numbers. Had to figure if you were taking the numbers up or down. Sounded great both ways

17:30:36 From Raffaele and Connie,s ipad to Everyone : I tried it both ways up and down. Up in part 2
17:30:44 From Tara to Everyone : The limited chord pallet is perfect for letting the patterns sink in and play around for bits. Jumping back in is fairly easy.

17:31:19 From Gail to Everyone : We, Mary and Gail loved it. Fantastic teaching! Gail will be taking your Sunday “Play By the Numbers” in Somerset.
