Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Mar De Sus Ojos by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.

She is the owner of my being

The one that gives me goosebumps

And with just one kiss

I can go insane

She is pure woman

Sensuality one hundred percent

She knows that her gaze

Has me at her feet

I live in the world of her lips

I search for the beach of her kisses

I am the bird that flies, close to her hips

And returns to the same spot

She makes me sail in the sea of her eyes

And I only want to anchor

Between her red lips

I only want to be shipwrecked, close to her smile

She is my port and my sea

My sailboat and my breeze

I know that you want to kiss me

I want to kiss you too

Like in everything, please, let's go step by step

In a suit or miniskirt, I am a real lady

It's about style, it's not sex, it's sensuality

If you are going to be with me, I want that it be clear to you

If you respect me

We are two that respect each other

Between you and me, nobody commands anymore

I love you like the sea, infinite, gigantic

And at every place I pass, I start to understand

Because she is mine and I am part of her skin

She has me in her hands

It's something superhuman

She makes me die and be reborn

She makes me sail in the sea of her eyes

And I only want to anchor

Between her red lips

I only want to be shipwrecked, close to her smile

She is my port and my sea

My sailboat and my breeze

She deserves everything, she is pure woman

With those red lips that are going to drive me insane

The queen of the castle is only for one gentleman

I would like to take her around the whole world

A kiss on the cheek, then another on the hand

Let me know, mulata, and whenever you want we dance

Such a divine gaze, how well we connect

Being with you is something superhuman

I live in the world of her lips

I search for the beach of her kisses

I am the bird that flies, close to her hips

And returns to the same spot

She makes me sail in the sea of her eyes

And I only want to anchor

Between her red lips

I only want to be shipwrecked, close to her smile

She is my port and my sea

My sailboat and my breeze

She makes me sail

And I only want to anchor

SONG MEANING

El Mar De Sus Ojos paints love as an endless ocean. Carlos Vives sings about being completely captivated by a woman whose glance becomes deep water, whose lips feel like a safe harbor, and whose smile is the warm breeze that keeps his sailboat moving. Every line is overflowing with coastal imagery: he wants to anchor between her red lips, navigate through her eyes, and naufragate (shipwreck) joyfully in the tide of her affection. His passion sounds adventurous, almost supernatural, as if each kiss lets him die and be reborn.

ChocQuibTown jumps in to balance the fantasy with playful confidence. Goyo reminds us that sensuality comes with self-respect: they will dance and travel the world together, but only if both partners treat each other as equals. In the end, the song celebrates a vibrant, mutual attraction where Caribbean rhythms, flirtation, and admiration mix like sun, surf, and saltwater—creating a love story as boundless and rhythmic as the sea itself.
