The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Ojos" by Willie Colon.

Lyrics

Hay ojos de miles miradas.
Cristales que observan al mundo pasar.
Ojos que encuentran fortuna mirando a la luna y a su resplandor.
Hay ojos que emanan ternura y hay ojos de inmenso dolor.
Ojos que en noches oscuras viven de amarguras y desolacion.
Pero hay ojos que saben reir.
Hay ojos de eterno fulgor.
Ojos que ven en las flores de multicolores la gracia de Dios.
Ojos, de jovenes y viejos.
Ojos, de todos lados del mundo.
Ojos, de todos los colores.
Ojos, de rey o vagabundo.
Ojos, que rien, ojos que lloran, ojos que piden, ojos que imploran.
Ojos, que estan llenos de esperanza.
Ojos, dando gritos de hasta cuando?
Ojos, que dicen la calle esta dura, ojos del pobre esperando.
Ojos de aquel que se aleja y espera su libertad.
Ojos, de America Latina, ojos llenos de verdad.
Ojos, siguiendo los pollos en las esquinas o mirando papeles en la oficina.
Ojos dichosos como el ojo de la vecina.
Ojos, como los del ciego que miran mas por dentro.
Ojos, en bautizos y en entierros, llenos de sentimiento.
Ojos, ae ae yo vine pa mira.
Ojos, ae ae yo vine aqui pa ver.
Ojos que preguntan, ojos que responden, ojos desconfiados, ojos bonachones,
ojos de policia, ojos de ladrones, ojos de senoras y otros de senores.
Ojos, son los ojos de mis pueblos.
Ojos, viendo como echar pa lante.
Ojos, esos ojos de estudiantes que el cielo los bendiga.
Ojos, y el futuro de nuestra raza y de America Latina

Lyrics translation

There are eyes from a thousand looks.
Crystals watching the world go by.
Eyes that find fortune looking at the moon and its glow.
There are eyes that emanate tenderness and there are eyes of immense pain.
Eyes that on Dark Nights Live of bitterness and desolation.
But there are eyes that can laugh.
There are eyes of eternal glow.
Eyes that see in the multicolored flowers the grace of God.
Eyes, young and old.
Eyes, from all over the world.
Eyes, all colors.
Eyes, king or tramp.
Eyes that laugh, eyes that cry, eyes that ask, eyes that beg.
Eyes, which are full of hope.
Eyes, shouting until when?
Eyes, that say the street is hard, eyes of the poor waiting.
Eyes of the one who turns away and waits for his freedom.
Eyes, from Latin America, eyes full of truth.
Eyes, following chickens in the corners or looking at papers in the office.
Happy eyes like the neighbor's eye.
Eyes, like those of the Blind who look more inward.
Eyes, at baptisms and burials, full of feeling.
Eyes, ae ae I came PA mira.
Eyes, ae ae I came here to see.
Eyes that ask, eyes that answer, suspicious eyes, good-looking eyes,
eyes of Police, eyes of Thieves, eyes of ladies and others of Gentlemen.
Eyes, they are the eyes of my peoples.
Eyes, seeing how to throw the rope.
Eyes, those student eyes may heaven bless you.
Eyes, and the future of our race and Latin America
