Ojos Lyrics in English Willie Colón , Rubén Blades
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ojos by Willie Colón from Spanish to English.
Hay ojos de miles miradas
There's eyes with a thousand looks
Cristales que observan al mundo pasar
Glass panes that watch the world drift by
Ojos que encuentran fortuna
Eyes that stumble on fortune
Mirando a la luna y a su resplandor
Gazing at the moon and its shine
Hay ojos que emanan ternura
There's eyes that pour out tenderness
Y hay ojos de inmenso dolor
And eyes of boundless pain
Ojos que en noches oscuras
Eyes that, on dark nights
Viven de amarguras y desolación
Survive on bitterness and desolation
Pero hay ojos que saben reír
But there's eyes that know how to laugh
Hay ojos de eterno fulgor
There's eyes of endless glow
Ojos que ven en las flores
Eyes that spot in the flowers
De multicolores
Of many colors
La gracia de Dios
The grace of God
Ojos
Eyes
De jóvenes y viejos
Of young ones and elders
En todos laos' del mundo
In every corner of the world
De todos los colores
Of every shade
De rey o vagabundo
Of king or drifter
Ojos que ríen, ojos que lloran
Eyes that laugh, eyes that cry
Ojos que piden, ojos que imploran
Eyes that beg, eyes that plead
Ojos que están llenos de esperanza
Eyes packed with hope
Dando gritos de hasta cuándo
Shouting, how much longer
Que dicen la calle está dura
Saying the street's tough
Ojos del pobre esperando
Eyes of the poor waiting
Ojos de aquel que se aleja y espera su libertad
Eyes of the one who goes off, longing for freedom
De América Latina, ojos llenos de verdad
From Latin America, eyes filled with truth
Ojos
Eyes
Siguiendo los pollos en las esquinas
Chasing the kids on the corners
O mirando papeles en la oficina
Or scanning papers in the office
Ojos dichosos, como el ojo de la vecina
Lucky eyes, like the neighbor's eye
Como los del ciego que miran más por dentro
Like those of the blind man seeing deeper inside
Ojos de papisos en entierros llenos de sentimiento
Eyes of mourners at heartfelt funerals
Aeh, aeh, yo vine pa' miras
Aeh, aeh, I came to look
Aeh, aeh, yo vine aquí pa' ve'
Aeh, aeh, I came here to see
Ojos
Eyes
Ojos que preguntan, ojos que responden
Eyes that ask, eyes that answer
Ojos desconfiados, ojos bonachones
Suspicious eyes, big-hearted eyes
Ojos de policías, ojos de ladrones
Eyes of cops, eyes of thieves
Ojos de señoras y ojos de señores
Eyes of ladies and eyes of gents
Son los ojos de mis pueblos
They're the eyes of my people
Viendo como echar pa'lante
Watching how to push ahead
Esos ojos de estudiantes, que el cielo los bendiga
Those students' eyes, may heaven bless them
Y el futuro de nuestra raza y de América Latina
And the future of our people and of Latin America
