Letra del Tango Ojos negros

Ojos negros y… soñadores

de mis amores

dueños ellos son.

Ojos que encantan a mi alma

y que dan dulce calma

a mi fiel corazón.



Cuando en su cristal

me suelo mirar

me causa placer,

porque en ellos yo

suelo adivinar

su mucho querer.



Nunca jamás

podré olvidar

la expresión arrobadora

de tu faz.



Como divinos luceros

son tus ojos negros

dignos de admirar,



y por ellos yo me muero

y en sus pestañas quiero

poder siempre besar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Ojos negros"

Dark eyes, oh… dreamy eyes,

of my love,

they are the masters.

Eyes that enchant my soul,

and that bring sweet calm

to my faithful heart.

When in their glass

I often gaze,

it brings me joy,

because in them I

can often guess

their deep affection.

Never ever

will I forget

the captivating expression

of your face.

Like divine stars

are your dark eyes

worthy of admiration,

and for them, I die,

and on their lashes, I wish

I could always kiss.

Story behind the Tango Ojos negros

“Ojos negros” translates to “Black eyes” in English, a romantic and profound title for a tango that explores themes of love, admiration, and deep emotional connection. The lyrics poetically describe the allure and profound impact of a loved one’s dark eyes on the singer. These eyes are portrayed as captivating and soul-soothing, offering a glimpse into the heart’s desires and serene calm to the fervent heart.



Symbolism of Ojos negros

The eyes are often seen as windows to the soul, and in “Ojos negros,” they are central to the song’s emotional expression. Phrases like “Ojos que encantan a mi alma” (Eyes that enchant my soul) and “y que dan dulce calma” (and that give sweet calm) highlight the eyes not just as physical features but as gateways to deeper spiritual and emotional experiences. The repeated focus on the “ojos negros” serves as a symbol for the profound connection and unspoken communication between lovers. Another key phrase, “Cuando en su cristal me suelo mirar” (When in their crystal I usually look at myself), suggests reflection and introspection, indicating that these eyes also prompt self-awareness and personal revelations.



Ojos negros in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1974, a time when tango was both a popular and culturally significant form of expression, “Ojos negros” embraces the classic themes of tango music, such as passion, nostalgia, and longing. The historical and geographical context during this period was marked by political and social changes, which often influenced the poetic and emotional depth found in tango lyrics. The choice of such intimate and introspective subject matter reflects a common retreat into personal and emotional realms during times of external turmoil.
