Ojos Que Amaron

Dúo Ayala Coronado's song 'Ojos Que Amaron' delves deep into the sorrow and despair of lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels trapped in eternal darkness, both literally and metaphorically. The protagonist describes their life as a 'noche eterna' (eternal night), indicating a profound sense of hopelessness and despair. This darkness is not just physical but also emotional, as they grapple with the pain of being abandoned by someone they deeply loved.

The recurring theme of blindness in the song serves as a powerful metaphor for the protagonist's emotional state. They lament their inability to see the eyes of their beloved, which once brought them immense joy but now only bring tears. The phrase 'Soy ciego, qué pena, por dios mi, ceguera' (I am blind, what a pity, my God, my blindness) underscores the depth of their sorrow and the sense of loss they feel. The eyes that once 'amaron' (loved) them are now a source of pain, highlighting the cruel irony of love's fleeting nature.

The song also touches on themes of abandonment and longing. The protagonist's plea for consolation in their 'negra oscuridad' (black darkness) reflects their desperate need for comfort and understanding. However, the beloved's departure, described as 'tan ingrata' (so ungrateful), leaves them feeling even more desolate. The repeated mention of the 'ojos que me amaron y que ahora me dejan' (eyes that loved me and now leave me) emphasizes the betrayal and heartache they experience. Through its poignant lyrics and emotive delivery, 'Ojos Que Amaron' captures the universal pain of lost love and the enduring impact it has on the human soul.
