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… dreamers
of my love,
they own my soul.
Eyes that enchant my soul
and bring sweet calm
to my faithful heart.

When in their mirror
I tend to look,
it brings me joy,
because in them I
can often guess
their deep affection.

Never ever
will I forget
the enchanting expression
of your face.

Like divine stars
are your dark eyes,
worthy of admiration,

and for them I’d die
and on their lashes, I wish
to always kiss.

“Ojos negros” translates to “Black Eyes” in English, hinting at a profound admiration and affection for someone with captivating dark eyes. The lyrics express deep, passionate feelings directed towards a beloved, whose enchanting black eyes hold the power to soothe and charm the narrator’s soul. These eyes are described as not just physical features but as gateways to emotional tranquility and love. The recurring description of the eyes in the song reflects a narrative centered around romantic love and the mesmerizing effect of the beloved’s gaze.

The song uses the imagery of “black eyes” as a central metaphor, symbolizing deep, often mysterious and irresistible allure that draws the narrator in and holds him captive. This attraction is described almost like a spiritual experience, elevating the beloved’s eyes to something divine, akin to ‘divine lanterns’. The lyrics “y que dan dulce calma a mi fiel corazón” suggest these eyes not only captivate but also provide peace and solace to the narrator’s faithful heart, portraying love as both exhilarating and comforting.



Ojos negros in historic Context
