Spanish Eyes
Herbert Rehbein & His Orchestra 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
The song “Blue Spanish Eyes” by Herbert Rehbein And His Orchestra is a heartwarming and romantic tune that speaks about a lover’s farewell and how they hope to reunite soon. The song’s opening lines, “Blue Spanish eyes, teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes, please, please don’t cry,” describe a moment when two lovers are saying goodbye. The woman’s eyes are overflowing with tears as she is clearly heartbroken. However, the singer of the song is trying to console her and remind her that this farewell is not final, but rather an “adiós” – a temporary goodbye.
The singer then assures his lover that he will soon return with all the love her heart can hold. He implores her to smile and to remember that they will be reunited soon. The song’s chorus is repeated twice throughout the song and reinforces this idea of temporary separation: “Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.”
