Esos ojos negros
Mikel Erentxun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esos ojos negros no los quiero ver llorar
Tan solo quiero escuchar
Dime
Lo que quiero oír
Dime
Que vas a reír
Dime
Hace ya algún tiempo
Hace ya algún tiempo que tu voz parece ser
Una pluma y un papel que cuentan
Que vas a volar en sueños
Que serán tus ojos negros
Los que me iluminen al andar
La lluvia cae sobre el suelo gris
El tiempo pasa, no puedo reír
La noche es larga, mi voz amarga
Hoy he visto despertar el sol
Y tus pupilas brillarán
Pero espera, descuida y ya verás
Los buenos tiempos volverán
Pero espera, descuida que ya vendrán
La lluvia los devolverá
La lluvia cae sobre el suelo gris
El tiempo pasa y no puedo reír
La noche es larga, mi voz amarga
Hoy he visto despertar el sol
Y tus pupilas brillarán
Pero espera, descuida y ya verás
Los buenos tiempos volverán
Pero espera, descuida que ya vendrán
La lluvia los devolverá
Esos ojos negros
Esos ojos negros no los quiero ver llorar
Tan solo quiero escuchar
Dime
Lo que quiero oír
Dime
Que vas a reír
Dime
Dime ahora que duerme la ciudad
Dime ahora que duerme la ciudad
Dime ahora que duerme la ciudad
The lyrics of "Esos Ojos Negros" by Mikel Erentxun center around the singer's desire to hear comforting words from the person with whom he is speaking. The repeated lines, "Dime lo que quiero oír" ("Tell me what I want to hear"), and "Que vas a reír" ("That you will laugh"), reflect his longing for reassurance and positivity. He also expresses a fear of seeing the other person's "black eyes" cry, indicating a deep emotional attachment to them.
The theme of waiting and hoping for better times to come is also present in the song, as the singer urges the other person to "espera" ("wait"), promising that good times will return with the rain. This imagery of rain as a symbol of renewal and rejuvenation is repeated in the chorus, as the rain falls on the gray ground and eventually brings back the joy that has been lost.
Throughout the song, the singer's emotions are conveyed in a melancholic and wistful tone, with a sense of longing and nostalgia for happier times. The final line, "Dime ahora que duerme la ciudad" ("Tell me now that the city sleeps"), highlights the surreal feeling of being alone with one's thoughts in the quiet of the night.
Overall, "Esos Ojos Negros" is a heartfelt and poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the power of words to heal and comfort.
