Spanish Eyes
Elvis (Live) 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"
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
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
In Elvis's song "Spanish Eyes," he is singing about a woman with blue Spanish eyes who is crying. He is pleading with her not to cry and promising to return soon with all the love her heart can hold. He knows it is not a permanent goodbye, but just an adios. He is asking her to say "Si, si," which means "yes, yes" in Spanish, to let him know that she and her Spanish eyes will wait for him to return.
Elvis's use of the phrase "Spanish eyes" is intriguing because it's not clear if he is referring to the color of her eyes or her ethnicity. The romantic lyrics may suggest that he is addressing both aspects of her identity. The song's melody is soft and slow, emphasizing the tenderness of the moment he is depicting. This song has become one of Elvis's most popular ballads, which still resonates with audiences years later.
