"Cielito lindo" is a popular Ranchera song from Mexico, written in 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés (c. 1859--1957).[1] Commonly played by mariachi bands, it has been recorded by many artists, that range from Pedro Infante to Placido Domingo. Pedro Infante sang it in the famous film Los Tres García. The melody was used as the basis for a popular English-language song, "You, Me, and Us," which became a hit for Alma Cogan in the United Kingdom in 1957. The melody was also adapted by Sebastian Yradier and Neil Wilson to create another English-language song, "Heavenly Night," recorded by Bing Crosby[2] and others. The basic melody was also used in the Frito-Lay commercial sung by the character Frito Bandito in the late 60s TV commercial for Frito-Lay. Another popular and traditional song called "Cielito lindo" also known as "Cielito lindo huasteco" from La Huasteca in Mexico, has been played by most, if not all, Conjunto huastecos, as it is considered one of the most popular Son Huasteco or Huapango songs. Sometimes mariachi bands perform both versions of the Cielito lindo, which are completely different, one after the other. In recent decades it has come to be widely known as a theme song for Mexicans, particularly at international events, like the FIFA World Cup.
