Muchacha de Ojazos Negros
Juan Vicente Torrealba
Girl with Black Eyes
Only two favors
I would like to ask of God:
to be the master of your loves,
to be the echo of your voice.
Girl with black eyes,
I can't live without you;
listen, my life,
I carry a sorrow in my soul
that grows slowly
since the day I saw you. (repeat)
I don't want illusions
only in my life
I want to enjoy a little
the sweetness of reality.
And after pouring
my affection into yours,
to be like the bird that crosses
singing through the vastness.
Girl with black eyes,
I can't live without you;
listen, my life,
I carry a sorrow in my soul
that grows slowly
since the day I saw you. (repeat)
