Verdes Siempre

Those eyes of hers have a light
That’s hard to explain, you know?
It’s been there where it sparkles
They’re meant to see a different world
They’re a lens where the stars peek through

Those eyes of hers wander and then fade away
And they stay forever
And they speak of something else
I could go where time stands still
If one look from her finds me and touches me

They’re always green and in every way
Yeah, they’re a green like an endless beginning
They’re a water where longing renews
Everything I carry inside

Those eyes that she has, green like the sea
Greet me and know me
And they follow me and surround me
And I always end up caught there
In the constant wonder they summon

Persistent like a breeze and like the waves
One look from her has that simple quality
Of existing while everything crumbles
While everything keeps passing by
They stay right where they are

They’re where the most secret word emerges
And a mystery that’s still unrevealed
The sign of a luminous presence
That has allowed itself to be found

Those eyes that she has, green like this
Neither asking for me, nor turning away
Imprinting in my memory
They’re the truth of a time that awakens
They’re the key to the lock, they’re the halo of a desire
They’re the light green of a strange essence
Where the whole sea peeks through two windows
And they’re a dream from which you never wake
The one who dared to look

I don’t know why I like them so much
Oh! I wish she wouldn’t look at anyone else like that
How I wish the light of her gaze
Was just for me
