Ojos Negros
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics

Ojos negros en el cielo de una noche fría
I saw dark eyes in the cold night sky

Labios rojos que me hablaban, yo no la oía
Red lips were talking to me, but I couldn't hear

"¿Tienes cuántos años?" Pregunté
I asked her, "How old are you?"

De repente con una excusa la invité a un café
Suddenly, I invited her to a coffee shop with an excuse

Ojos negros me decía "Yo no te conozco"
Dark eyes told me, "I don't know you"

E intranquila en la vidriera se observaba un poco
She was uneasy and looked at the store window for a bit

¿Y qué le digo ahora? No lo sé
I didn't know what to say next

Una luz se encendía de pronto y pensé
A light turned on suddenly and I thought

Que este encuentro casual no era casualidad, me acerqué
That this casual encounter was not a coincidence, so I approached her

Cuenta la historia que a mi encuentro volvió
The story tells that she came back to see me

Una tarde llena de gente, ya casi a las dos
One afternoon when it was almost two o'clock and there were many people around

Algo retrasada y nerviosa, mirando el reloj
She was a bit late and nervous, looking at her watch

Ojos negros se encontraba al cabo de unas horas
Later on, I saw the dark eyes again

Apretada a mí bailando una canción de moda
She was dancing with me closely to a popular song

El ambiente oscuro me indicó
The dark atmosphere made me realize

Que el espacio se hacía muy grande y que yo
That there was a lot of space around us and I

Sugiriese pasar esa noche los dos, ¿por qué no?
Suggested that we spend the night together, why not?
