Al Martino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry
This is just adios and not goodbye
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si, si"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Blue Spanish eyes
Prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
True Spanish eyes
Please smile at me once more before I go
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si, si"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
You and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
The song "Spanish Eyes" by Al Martino is a romantic ballad about a separation between two lovers. The lyrics speak of blue Spanish eyes and teardrops falling from them, expressing the sadness of the situation. The singer implores his lover not to cry, saying that it's just "adios" and not "goodbye," and promises to return soon to bring all the love her heart can hold. He asks her to say "si, si" and wait for him and his Spanish eyes to come back to her.
The song's lyrics evoke a sense of longing and sadness, as the singer is heading off but wishes he could stay. The phrase "blue Spanish eyes" refers to the color of the eyes of his lover, who is likely from Mexico, given the reference to the country later in the song, where the prettiest eyes in all of Mexico are supposedly found. The singer asks her to smile at him once more before he goes, expressing his desire to leave on a positive note.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt tribute to the love between two people and the sadness of separation, but also a promise of return and a hope for the future. The melody and lyrics combine to make a touching ballad that still resonates with audiences today.

I would not place Martino anywhere but AHEAD of the
Italian heritage vocalists you mentioned, especially Sinatra, who was a much better actor than singer. You left out his greatest rivals, Jerry Vale and
Vic Damone! I rank them as equals. And last but not least, Mario Lanza!...who was actually an opera
singer who also sang
pop songs. He wasn't
a crooner like the others, but his powerful tenor voice was second to none.
He had no greater rival than Franco Bonisolli. Google his aria from Rigoletto by
Giuseppe Verdi on the you tube.
Peace to an obvious
fellow connoisseur of
great music.

I am 93 my wife 91 some years ago we were traveling with friends. We stopped at a diner and one friend put Spanish eyes on the. Jukebox. Though we had never heard of Al Martino or Spanish. Eyes it soon became out favorite tune to dance to. Some time after the man who wrote this song Eddie Snyder moved into the house next to us. For 12 years both Eddie and Spanish Eyes were our favorites. Dancing now is a little harder now but when we hear it played we try to dance again. One of the most beautiful songs ever written . Thank you Eddie!

@@tomtonge4237 but you're here listening and commenting which makes you pretty sad, at least own your tastes in music instead of making shitty comments to try to make yourself sound more with it, more like the younger generation which you clearly aren't a part of or you'd realise nobody cares what you like or dislike because it's more important to be yourself. Enjoy or more likely go find some other golden oldie to listen to and comment negatively to prop up your own ego.
