Ojos negros

Black Eyes
Walking behind the mystery,
that your black eyes keep,
yesterday my heart and dreams
lost their way.
Walking behind the mystery,
that your black eyes keep.
In the game of conquering,
I entered without saying a word,
without suspecting that in the end,
my fate was already sealed.
I would stay suffering,
captive of your gaze,
there's no innocence in thinking,
that I would take away your sleep,
walking in the darkness,
tempted to be your owner.
That's how I got tangled, in the love trap,
in your black eyes.
Who knows why, on a whim,
I think of your black eyes,
so sweet, yet selfish,
always looking at me from afar.
Who knows why, on a whim,
I think of your black eyes.
No matter how much I try to escape,
they have me captive.
Even if I try to forget you,
your black eyes trap me.
I would stay for them,\nsuffering all my life.
Love is like a noose,
that tightens the feelings;
it makes you feel the pain,
looking at you blinds you.
That's how I got tangled, in the love trap,
in your black eyes.
