Spanish Eyes
The Frank Vignola Trio 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 of The Frank Vignola Trio's song Spanish Eyes evoke a feeling of sadness and longing. The opening line "Blue Spanish eyes" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is addressing someone whose eyes are blue and Spanish, and who is crying tears. He implores this person not to cry as he is not leaving forever, it's just a temporary goodbye until he returns. He promises to bring back all the love that her heart can hold. The singer asks the person to say "Si, si" indicating that she agrees to wait for him with her beautiful Spanish eyes until he returns.
The second verse continues in the same vein as the first, with the singer admiring the beauty of her eyes and imploring her to smile one more time before he goes. He again promises to return and bring her all the love her heart can hold. The chorus is repeated again, with the singer asking her to say that she will wait for him with her Spanish eyes until he returns. The song's theme is a declaration of love and commitment, and the lyrics beautifully describe the singer's love for the woman and his promise to come back and be with her.

Sometimes we don't realize how much bigger, and "rounder" it all sounds because of Vinnie. Three big cheers for Vinnie - what a musician!

Frank Vignola is one of the greats. Played with Joscho Stephan, Jimmy Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Ascione, and others. His playing and the others is at such another level that people who make negative comments show how much they really don't know. So great man...
Bj Barlett
