Janet was a proud Mexican American woman, and loved this song. From her son Sean: "The last time I saw Janet she was pretty far along and I knew it was a matter of days. Janet was non verbal and pretty immobile. Janet's caretakers played one of Janet's favorite songs Cielito Lindo. Janet's eyes lit up, she moved with the music and hummed along. I won't sing it - neither Janet nor I could ever sing - but it goes Ay ay ay ay Canta, no llores, which means sing, don't cry. That was Janet to the end. Sing, don't cry."
