Ojos Verdes Lyrics in English by Nicki Nicole
Marchitaron is the past tense of marchitar, which means "to wither" or "to fade". It's a beautifully poetic word that you won't hear in everyday conversation.
In the song, Nicki Nicole sings "No me duele más, se marchitaron las rosas" (It doesn't hurt me anymore, the roses withered). She uses this powerful image to signify that her love and feelings for her ex are completely dead, like a flower that has lost its life and color. It's a much more evocative way of saying a romance has ended.
Get ready to feel empowered with Nicki Nicole's "Ojos Verdes"! This song is a fantastic listen, all about moving on from a past relationship with confidence and a bit of sass. Nicki knows her ex regrets losing her, singing, "Yo sé que soñás con poder cambiar las cosas / Te arrepentís y te morís por verme" [I know you dream of being able to change things / You regret it and you're dying to see me]. But she's totally over it, declaring, "No me duele más, se marchitaron las rosas" [It doesn't hurt me anymore, the roses withered]. She even throws a little shade, telling him, "Suerte encontrándome en otros ojos verdes" [Good luck finding me in other green eyes] – a clear sign he won't find another like her.
Nicki makes it clear that she brought out the best in him, and he only realized it after she left. She calls him out directly, asking, "¿A quién vas a engañar? ¿A quién le vas a mentir / Diciendo que no me extrañas?" [Who are you going to fool? Who are you going to lie to / Saying you don't miss me?]. It's a blunt truth that he's with someone new but still thinking of her, even giving his new partner the kisses Nicki once shared. She's not holding back, predicting, "Te vas a arrepentir / Cuando me veas por ahí" [You're going to regret it / When you see me around]. The best part? She didn't even need alcohol or parties to forget him, and that really stings him. This song is a perfect anthem for anyone who's walked away from a relationship feeling stronger and completely unbothered.
