OJITOS PERSAS Lyrics in English by Eslabon Armado, Erre
Ojitos persas literally translates to "Persian eyes." It's a unique and evocative phrase that stands out because it's not a common way to describe eyes in everyday Spanish.
In the song, the artist uses this phrase to highlight the captivating and exotic beauty of someone's eyes, suggesting they are as enchanting and deep as those often associated with Persian culture. This imagery makes the description particularly memorable and adds a touch of poetic flair to the lyrics.
The whole song takes place inside one night the singer is trying not to end. He is already looking past it to the next one — "Cuando amanezca quiero repetir" (When dawn breaks, I want to repeat) — and the detail he keeps returning to is her eyes under a full moon: "Brillando con la luna llena y tus ojitos persas" (Shining with the full moon and your Persian eyes). That line is where the title comes from. What he actually asks for is small and said plainly: stay awake, stay here, do this again tomorrow.
The rest is him admitting how far gone he is. Once he is alone the dreaming starts — "En las noches me acuesto y te empiezo a soñar" (At night I lie down and start dreaming about you) — and the one credential he offers is that there is nothing else competing for him: "No tengo vicios, solo tú nomás" (I have no vices, it's only you). Halfway through, the guitars drop back for the shout-outs sierreño records are built around, Eslabón Armado naming ERRE and compa Pedro before the verse returns. He finishes by putting the question to her: "Si sientes lo mismo que yo, entrégate a mí" (If you feel the same as me, give yourself to me).
