Spanish Eyes
Nelson Corbin and the London Pops 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 lyrics to "Spanish Eyes" by Nelson Corbin and the London Pops Orchestra are a heartfelt plea for a lover not to cry as the singer departs on a journey, promising to return with all the love they can hold. The blue Spanish eyes of the lover are described as the prettiest in all of Mexico, with the singer begging for a smile before they depart. The song is a romantic ballad with a melancholic tone, evoking a sense of longing and distance.
The focus on the color blue in "Spanish Eyes" represents the sadness and tears that the lover is experiencing. The singer acknowledges this sorrow, and the plea not to cry is an attempt to ease the lover's pain. In contrast, the promise to return with love is a source of hope and comfort, suggesting that the separation will not be permanent. The use of Spanish imagery and language adds to the romance of the song, transporting the listener to a distant land of passion and intensity.
