Verse 1
Not even the faintest smile
Not even a bit of light in his deep eyes
Not even the faint reflection of a thought that might cheer his world
There's sadness in his eyes speaking and staying silent and dancing with me
A distant sorrow that reaches my soul and turns into tenderness
Chorus 1
The boy with the sad eyes
He lives alone and needs love
He needs to see me like he needs air
I need him like I need the sun
The boy with the sad eyes
He has finally found a reason
To make his eyes smile
With my kisses and my great love
Verse 2
I don't even know his name
And I already want to meet him again alone
And in his autumn eyes
To fall sleep, little by little, forgetting the hours
I intend to find out for what strange reason
His eyes aren't smiling today
I intend, with tenderness and love, to make his eyes happy
Chorus 2
The boy with the sad eyes
He lives alone and needs love
He needs to see me like he needs air
I need him like I need the sun
The boy with the sad eyes
He has finally found a reason
To make his eyes smile
With my kisses and my great love
The boy with the sad eyes
He lives alone and needs love
He needs to see me like he needs air
I need him like I need the sun

SONG MEANING

El Muchacho De Los Ojos Tristes is a tender, almost whispered confession where Spanish singer Jeanette paints the portrait of a mysterious boy whose eyes are filled with quiet sorrow. Although he never smiles and his gaze seems lost in autumnal shades, the narrator feels an instant pull toward him, sensing that beneath the melancholy there is a heart aching for affection.

The song becomes a vow of healing: she pledges to turn his sadness into laughter with her kisses and her gran amor, believing they need each other as naturally as they need air. In just a few verses, Jeanette transforms loneliness into hope, showing how a single act of genuine love can light up even the deepest, darkest eyes.
