Ojos Españoles
Los Tres Ases 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 "Ojos Españoles" by Los Tres Ases talks about the beauty and sadness that is portrayed behind a pair of "Spanish eyes". The singer speaks directly to those eyes, saying that teardrops are falling from them and begging them not to cry. The singer then reassures the person behind the eyes that they are not saying goodbye, just "adios", and that they will return with all the love their heart can hold. The singer pleads with the person to say "Si, si" and wait for their return.
The lyrics evoke a feeling of longing and sadness, as though the person behind the Spanish eyes may not believe that the singer will return. The use of the word "adios" instead of "goodbye" implies that there is still hope for a future meeting, but perhaps not a certain one. The singer recognizes the beauty of the Spanish eyes, calling them the prettiest eyes in all of Mexico, but also acknowledges the sorrow that they are currently feeling.
Overall, the lyrics are a plea for understanding and a promise of love, with a sense of melancholy that is fitting for a traditional Mexican bolero.
