Ojos Verdes

'Lean!' on the jealous plot
I watched the night of May light up
With carnation and jasmine, the air smelled
When you stopped your horse at my door

'Serrana, can you give me a light?' and I said to you
'Girl, come and take it from my lips, I will give you fire'

You left the horse and I gave you light
And they were two green May stars
Your eyes for me

Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat, and green lime
Green eyes, green, with a sharp shine
That anchored lively in my heart

For me, there are no more suns, stars, or moon
There are only eyes that are my 'va­a'

Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat, and green lime

I saw the day break in front of your eyes
And the candle sounded sadder than ever
When you were leaving, my mouth had
A bitter taste of mint and cinnamon

'Serrana, for a 'vesta­o' I want to give you'
And I said to you: 'It's your birthday, you don't have to give me anything'

You got on the horse, you left me
And never again have I lived a more beautiful May night

Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat, and green lime
Green eyes, green, with a sharp shine
That anchored lively in my heart

For me, there are no more suns, stars, or moon
There are only eyes that are my 'va­a'

Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat, and green lime
