Ojos claros [English translation]

I was just a little boy

but I thought like an adult,

and I had great hopes for the future.

And I studied without rest,

and at the licensing exam,

I finished first.

Then I saw two bright eyes,

with two bitter tears,

falling onto a sheet of white paper.

And, with my test finished,

as if giving her a flower,

I put it in her hand.

And love, love, love burned me,

and her eyes saw into my soul

that suffered, oh...

I see the leaves rustle in the sun,

I see the trees above me,

and I loved her, and I loved her, and I loved her.

A seagull against the wind

flies but seems to stand still,

much like my thoughts.

I have changed inside and out,

more respect for that feeling—

the past seems like yesterday.

And her bright, bright eyes—

and her bitter tears—

I no longer know where to find them.

And I know not if for better or for worse,

without conscience or courage,

I will continue to search for her.

And love, love, love that will be—

an arrow in your heart will hurt you.

I saw the leaves rustle in the sun,

I saw the trees above me,

and I call out to you, and I search for you, and I love you.

And love, love, love...
