Ojitos Chismosos

Alberto Castillo's song 'Ojitos Chismosos' delves into the complexities of forbidden love and the silent communication that can occur through a simple gaze. The song begins with the narrator refusing to apologize, asserting that the true culprits are the eyes of the person who dared to look at him. This gaze, filled with sadness, conveys a message of unfulfilled needs and a longing for something more, despite being in a committed relationship symbolized by a 'matrimonio de corona y blanco traje' (a marriage with a crown and white dress).

The lyrics paint a picture of a person trapped in an unsatisfying marriage, where the emotional void grows larger each day, making life increasingly unbearable. The 'ojitos chismosos' (gossiping eyes) reveal the inner turmoil and unmet desires that words cannot express. The narrator responds to these eyes, offering to fill the void and provide what the person truly needs. However, he is aware of the societal judgment and the potential backlash from the person's family, who might dismiss their relationship as mere physical passion.

Despite the risks, the narrator emphasizes the depth and purity of their love, describing it as 'tierno, puro y responsable' (tender, pure, and responsible). He is prepared to face any challenges, even if it means confronting the wrath of the person's spouse, who might seek to harm him. The song concludes with a declaration of the narrator's readiness to defend their love, highlighting his courage and commitment. 'Ojitos Chismosos' is a poignant exploration of the silent yet powerful language of the eyes and the complexities of love that defies societal norms.
