James Last & Freddy Quinn 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 James Last Orchestra's song Spanish Eyes is an ode to a lover with stunning blue eyes. The singer addresses the person with tenderness as they weep, and implores them not to cry. He reassures the lover that his departure is not final, saying that it is just "adios" and not goodbye as he will return with all the love her heart can hold. The singer longs for the lover's undying devotion, urging her to say "si, si" and that she and her Spanish eyes will wait for him.
The melancholic tone of this song is emphasized by the elegant, classical orchestral music. The arrangement is soothing, with the orchestral swells and muted horns complementing the lyrics. The song highlights the importance of love and loyalty in a relationship, as the singer pleads for his lover's faithfulness in his absence. The blue Spanish eyes serve as a symbol of beauty, with the singer admiring it as "the prettiest eyes in all of Mexico" and longing for the person's smile once more before he sails away.
Overall, Spanish Eyes is a timeless classic that captures the essence of romantic yearning, separation, and devotion in a timeless way.
