Spanish Eyes
Placido Domingo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue Spanish eyes
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"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me

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

Overall Meaning

The song “Spanish Eyes” by Placido Domingo talks about a departing lover who is leaving his beloved with teary eyes but not bidding farewell forever. He tries to console his lady love by saying that their separation isn't a final goodbye, instead just an adios, as he promises to come back soon with all the love in his heart. The lyrics suggest that the eyes of the woman he is singing to are blue and Spanish, and they are the prettiest eyes in all of Mexico.


The song expresses the deep love and longing for a partner, who is about to leave, but the separation is not a permanent one. In the lyrics, the man hopes to return soon to bring all the love his heart holds to his lover's welcoming arms. The use of Spanish phrases such as “Si, si” further shows the connection with the song's title.
