El muchacho de los ojos tristes [English translation]

There's not even a simple smile

Or a bit of light in his deep eyes,

not even the reflection

of some thought to make his world happier.

There is sadness in his eyes

while speaking, while silent, and while dancing with me

A faraway sadness

that reaches my soul and becomes affection.

The young man of the sad eyes

lives alone and needs love

like the air, he needs to see me

like the sun, I need him

The young man of the sad eyes

has finally found a reason

to make his eyes smile

with my kisses and my great love

I don't even know his name,

yet I want to find him again already all alone

and in his autumn eyes

sleep and forget the hours one by one

I seek to know

the strange reason why his eyes do not laugh today

I seek to succeed,

with tenderness and love, in seeing his eyes happy

The young man of the sad eyes

lives alone and needs love

like the air, he needs to see me

like the sun, I need him

The young man of the sad eyes

has finally found a reason

to make his eyes smile

with my kisses and my great love
