Ojos verdes

Resting on the lattice
of my trellis
I watched the night of May
light up.

The air smelled of carnation and jasmine
to me
when you, at my door,
stopped the horse.

Serrana
give me fire
and I told you to bend down.

Come and take it
on my lips
that
I will give you fire.

You left the horse
and I gave you light
and two green
May stars
your eyes for me.

Green eyes
green like the hollyhock
green like the green wheat
and the green lemon.

Green green eyes
with a sharp shine
that have pierced
my heart.

For me there are no more suns
stars or moons
there are only a pair of eyes
that are my path.

Green eyes
green like the hollyhock
green like the green wheat
and the green lemon.

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
I would like to give you a dress.

I told you
you've fulfilled it
you don't have to give me anything.

You got on the horse
you left me
and never another night
more beautiful than May
have I lived.

Green eyes
green like the hollyhock
green like the green wheat
and the green lemon.

Green green eyes
with a sharp shine
that have pierced
my heart.

For me there are no more suns
stars or moons
there are only a pair of eyes
that are my path.

Green eyes
green like the hollyhock
green like the green wheat
and the green lemon
