Ojos Verdes

Leaning on the doorstep of the mansebía,
I watched the night of May light up
Men passed by and I smiled,
Until you stopped your horse at my door.
Serrana! Can you give me a light?
And I said to you: Gaché
Come and take it on my lips
And I will give you fire
You left the horse and I gave you light
And they were two green stars of May
Your eyes for me.

Green eyes,
Green like basil,
Green like green wheat,
And green, green lemon.
Green eyes, green
With a sparkle of knives
That have pierced my heart
For me there are no more suns, stars, or moon,
There are only eyes that are my path.
Green eyes,
Green like basil,
Green like green wheat,
And green, green lemon.

We saw from the room the day awaken,
And the dawn ring the tower bell
You left my arm as dawn broke,
And in my mouth a taste of mint and cinnamon.
Serrana! For a dress
I want to give you a gift
And I said to you: You are fulfilled!
You don't have to give me anything.
You got on the horse, you left me
And never again have I lived a more beautiful May night.

Green eyes,
Green like basil,
Green like green wheat,
And green, green lemon.
Green eyes, green, with a sparkle of knives
That have pierced my heart
For me there are no more suns, stars, or moon,
There are only eyes that are my path.
Green eyes,
Green like basil,
Green like green wheat,
And green, green lemon.
