Ojitos de cascabel
Francisco Gabilondo Soler (Cri Cri)
Rattlesnake Eyes
Maybe by sending a letter
can I get
something I want
just for me.
A beautiful thing,
hard to receive,
and maybe I'll get it
if I start writing.
Rattlesnake eyes,
sweet eyes
like honey,
pair of little stars
that brighten
the darkness at Christmas.
I'm going to ask Santa Claus
that on Christmas Eve
next to the doorstep
in my shoe he leaves me
your two rattlesnake eyes.
