Tus Ojos Lyrics in English by Noel Schajris
Rocío translates to "dew". It's a beautiful and somewhat uncommon word in song lyrics, evoking a sense of freshness, purity, and delicate beauty.
In the song, Noel Schajris sings, "Y soy rocío y raíz / Cuando me miras" (And I am dew and root / When you look at me). This poetic imagery suggests that the beloved's gaze makes him feel both light and grounded, pure and fundamental, highlighting the profound and transformative effect of their love.
"Tus Ojos" turns someone’s eyes into the whole architecture of safety and devotion. The hook says it outright — "Tus ojos son mi luz y mi guía en el camino" ("Your eyes are my light and my guide on the path") — then keeps restating the same claim: "Tus ojos son mi paz, la luna en una noche oscura" ("Your eyes are my peace, the moon on a dark night"), "Mi aire, mi locura, el rincón del mundo" ("My air, my madness, the corner of the world"). The opening verse frames that gaze as water — "Me pierdo y me sumerjo" ("I get lost and I immerse myself"), "En ellos nado libre" ("In them I swim free") — and by the second verse the metaphor is gone and the claim is absolute: "Soy eterno" ("I am eternal"). It closes on the plainest line in the song, "Contigo estoy" ("I'm with you"), right after admitting "Nada me falta hoy" ("I lack nothing today").
