Spanish Eyes
Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias 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 Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias' song Spanish Eyes are a plea to a lover with sadness in their eyes not to cry. The singer acknowledges departure, expressing that it is only "adios" (goodbye in Spanish) and not "adios" (farewell in Spanish). The lover's eyes are described as "Spanish eyes," and the singer speaks of the beauty in them, saying they are the "prettiest eyes in all of Mexico." The lyrics' tone is melancholic, with the singer trying to assure the lover of his return, asking them to wait with a hopeful "Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me."
The song speaks of love and longing in a way that is reminiscent of classic romantic ballads. The use of Spanish and Mexico as a reference point adds to the song's appeal, as it conjures an image of a man singing to his lover against a backdrop of colorful landscapes with Spanish architecture. It's a song that speaks of a profound love that transcends borders and distance.
