Cachito, Cachito, Cachito mio 
Pedazo de cielo que Dios me dió 
Te miro y te miro y al fin bendigo 
Bendigo la suerte de ser tu amor 

Me preguntan que ¿por qué eres mi Cachito? 
Y yo siento muy bonito al responder 
Que porque eres de mi vida un pedacito 
Al que quiero como a nadie he de querer 

Cachito, Cachito, Cachito mio 
Pedazo de cielo que Dios me dió, 
Te miro y te miro y al fin bendigo, 
Bendigo la suerte de ser tu amor. 

Cachito, Cachito mio 
Pedazo de cielo que Dios me dió, 
Te miro y te miro y al fin bendigo, 
Bendigo la suerte de ser tu amor. 

Cachito, Cachito mio 
Tu eres el amorcito de mi mamá 
Y de papá

Cachito, Cachito mio 
Pedazo de cielo que Dios me dió 
Te miro y te miro y al fin bendigo 
Bendigo la suerte de ser tu amor

A tu lado yo no se lo que es tristeza 
Y las horas se me pasan sin sentir 
Tu me miras y yo pierdo la cabeza 
Y lo único que puedo es repetir 

Cachito, Cachito, Cachito mio 
Pedazo de cielo que Dios me dió

He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »
