Where could my darling be

Where could those dreamy eyes be

My heart cries and sighs

Because it misses the warmth of her love

In my garden she planted carnations

And she swore that she would come back when they bloomed

But that dark girl isn't coming back anymore

The time already came when the flowers dried up

The dark sorrows will kill me

If she doesn't come back, without her love I'll die

It'll be better to find death

So that at last I'll never ever suffer again

I get drunk in the cantinas

They say that wine is what takes away a feeling

But I swear to them that it's a lie

Because I've never forgotten what I feel

The dark sorrows will kill me

If she doesn't come back, without her love I'll die

It'll be better to find death

So that at last I'll never ever suffer again

SONG MEANING

Grab your sombrero and step into a moonlit Mexican jardín. "Ojitos Soñadores" paints the picture of a lovesick narrator who once nurtured both claveles (carnations) and a tender romance. His beloved, known only by her dreamy little eyes, promised to return when the flowers blossomed. The petals opened in vivid color, yet she never appeared, leaving the garden - and his heart - to wither.

Heartache echoes through every accordion note. Unable to shake the memory of those enchanted eyes, our protagonist drowns his sorrow in cantinas, learning the hard way that wine cannot erase true emotion. With each verse he slips deeper into despair, convinced that life without her love is no life at all. The result is a powerful norteño ballad that showcases Ramón Ayala’s gift for turning raw heartbreak into poetic storytelling, inviting listeners to sway, sigh, and perhaps shed a tear right alongside him.
