Letra del Jota Los ojos de mi moza

Son los ojos de mi moza

como el filo de un puñal,

son los ojos de mi moza

y yo no vivo sin ellos,

Virgencita del Pilar,

sin los ojos de mi moza,

Virgencita del Pilar.

Arroyito de mi aldea,

a ti te puedo contar,

arroyito de mi aldea

que por mi amor hoy la vieron

una lágrima derramar,

una lágrima derramar,

arroyito de mi aldea.

English lyrics of the Jota "Los ojos de mi moza"

Her eyes, my dear’s, they strike like dagger’s steel,
Her eyes, my dear’s, my life is bound to their appeal,
Oh, Virgin of the Pillar,
Without my dear’s eyes,
Virgin of the Pillar.

Little stream of my village, to you I can confide,
Little stream of my village,
for my love today they saw her
shed a tear,
shed a tear,
little stream of my village.
