Lyrics

Aqueles olhos verdes
Translúcidos serenos
Parecem dois amenos
Pedaços do luar
Mas têm a miragem
Profunda do oceano
E trazem todo o engano
Das procelas do mar
Aqueles olhos verdes
Que inspiram tanta calma
Entraram em minh’alma
Encheram-na de dor
Aqueles olhos tristes
Pegaram-me tristeza
Deixando-me a crueza
De tão infeliz amor
Aquellos ojos verdes
Serenos como un lago
En cuyas quietas aguas
Un día me miré
No saben las tristezas
Que en mi alma han dejado
Aquellos ojos verdes
Que yo nunca besaré

Lyrics translation

Those green eyes
Translucent serene
They seem two mild
Pieces of the moonlight
But they have the Mirage
Deep ocean
And bring all the deception
Of the sea procelas
Those green eyes
That inspire so much calm
They entered my soul
They filled her with pain
Those sad eyes
They caught me sad
Leaving me raw
Of such unhappy love
Those green eyes
Serene as a lake
In whose still waters
One day I looked at myself
They don't know the sorrows
That in my soul have left
Those green eyes
That I'll never kiss
