Ojos gitanos
Complices Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo no he visto nunca amanecer
En Venecia desde el canal
Yo no he visto nunca atardecer
Desde las playas de San Juan
Pero he visto tus ojos y ahí quiero viajar

Yo no he visto nunca un glaciar
Reflejado en aguas de coral
Yo no he visto nunca las estrellas
Desde los áticos de Taiwan
Pero he visto tus ojos y ahí quiero viajar

Ojos gitanos, yo quiero ser
La luz del mar, la dulce miel, de tu mirar
Recorrer tu piel de azahar y andar
Por tu iris gitano y celestial

Yo no he visto nunca el arco iris
Coloreando el cielo ecuatorial
Yo no he visto nunca el fuego ardiente
Que nace en las montañas de Yucatán
Pero he visto tus ojos y ahí quiero viajar

Ojos gitanos yo quiero ser
La luz del mar, la dulce miel, de tu mirar
Recorrer tu piel de azahar, y andar
Por tu iris gitano y celestial





Ojos gitanos

Overall Meaning

The singer talks about the amazing sights they have not yet had the chance to witness, such as seeing Venice at dawn from a canal, watching the sunset from San Juan's beaches, and observing glaciers reflecting on coral waters. However, the singer has seen the eyes of the loved one and recognizes the beauty of the world that can be seen through them.


The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's desire to experience life with their loved one's eyes as the romanticized image of gypsy eyes is used as a metaphor for celestial and captivating vision.
