Cielito Lindo

This is another outake from the promotional film I worked on for the publishing services company I work for called Booklinks. They needed some comic relief and I was elected (thanks Cory). In this scene they are featuring the Mexican office which I manage. A document has been sent to us and I am translating it into Spanish. Behind me all sorts of wierd things go on, one of which is a visit by a mariachi band. Here the Mariachi Azteca plays Cielito Lindo while I (almost) ignore them. Hang in there until the second chorus. Sing along if you like. Enjoy
Here are the words:
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Cantar no llores
Porque? Cantando se alegra,
Cielito lindo,
Los corazones
Translation:
Aye, aye, aye, aye,
Sing, don't cry
Why? Because singing makes the heart happy,
Pretty sky

Thanks pepa, glad you liked it.
I think the chorus of "Cielito Lindo" goes a little differently than you've transcribed it, making more sense both grammatically, and poetically too. The verbs in the 2nd line are in the same tense, the "porque" in the third line is the "because" not "why," and "los corazones" can be seen to complete a rhyme with "y no llores."
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones
