A Christmas Wish for Sparkling Eyes

Francisco Gabilondo Soler, known as Cri Cri, is a beloved Mexican composer and performer of children's music. His song "Ojitos de cascabel" is a charming and heartfelt piece that captures the innocence and wonder of a child's Christmas wish. The lyrics tell the story of a child who decides to write a letter, hoping to receive something very special and personal—something that is both beautiful and hard to come by.

The child describes the desired gift as "ojitos de cascabel," which translates to "jingle bell eyes." This metaphor evokes an image of eyes that sparkle and shine, much like the twinkling lights and festive decorations of the holiday season. The child compares these eyes to sweet honey and little stars that brighten the darkness during Christmas. This imagery not only highlights the beauty and allure of the eyes but also ties them to the joy and magic of Christmas.

In the final verse, the child expresses a heartfelt plea to Santa Claus, asking him to leave these sparkling eyes in their shoe on Christmas Eve. This request is both tender and whimsical, reflecting the pure and simple desires of a child's heart. The song beautifully captures the essence of childhood wonder and the magic of Christmas, making it a timeless piece that resonates with listeners of all ages.
