que tal mi amor
que sorpresa la de encontrarte como te va,
hace tiempo que deseaba hablarte,
para saber algo de ti, y sin querer estas aqui,
ven junto a mi ven junto a mi ven aqui,
cierra los ojos y juntitos recordemos aquellos dias del feliz año pasado, cuando tocabamos el cielo con las manos, tu enamorada yo enamorado,
cuando tu cuepro con mi amor se alimentaba,
cuando el invierno era nuestra primavera,

cuando reias y tambien cuando llorabas,
como te amaba como te amaba,
(cierra los ojos y juntitos recordemos)
el tiempo ha pasado nos hemos encontrado y seguimos enamorados
(cierra los ojos y juntitos recordemos)
recordaras vivir cuando tu cuerpo co mi amor se alimentaba y me acariciabas
(cierra los ojos y juntitos recordemos)
te vas a venir conmigo te dare mi amor y asi recordaremos tiempo pasado
(cierra los ojos y juntitos recordemos)
gracias a Dios por volverte a encontrar y asi entre mis brazos tenerte una vez mas
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
te quiero te quiero te quiero te quiero tanto
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
yo no te puedo olvidar
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
de ti todavia sigo enamorado
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
gracias a Dios por traerte a mi lado
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
tu para mi yo para ti
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
por toda la vida agarrados de las manos
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
viviremos aquellos momentos pasados
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
enamorado enamorado
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
a que tu me tienes loco de verdad
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
pa romper el coco
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
vivamos el amor y olvida el pasado
(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
no sientas miedo ven a mi lado

(tu enamorada yo enamorado)
enamorado...

Overall Meaning

The song "Cierra los ojos" by José Alberto "El Canario" is a romantic ballad that speaks to the power of love to overcome the passage of time. The singer is surprised and pleased to see his former lover again after a long time, and longs to catch up with her and regain some of the happiness they shared in the past. The singer implores her to close her eyes and remember with him the happy times they spent together in the past, when their bodies nourished each other's love, and they laughed and cried together. He declares his continued love for her and that he cannot forget her, and expresses gratitude to God for bringing them together again.

The lyrics are rich in imagery and metaphorical language that convey the intensity of the singer's feelings for the woman he loves. The image of "tocabamos el cielo con las manos" ("we touched the sky with our hands") suggests a time when they were on top of the world and filled with joy and hope. The description of their physical intimacy as their bodies nourishing each other's love suggests a deep and profound connection between them. The repeated phrase "cierra los ojos" ("close your eyes") suggests a desire to escape the present moment and remember the past, and also implies a willingness to surrender to love and let go of fear and doubt.
