Ojos Negros [English translation]

I saw you once again

Even my feet were shaky

I tried to say: "how's it going?"

But everything was just my imagination

So, what if it was true

That I could kiss those lips of yours?

For those black eyes

What am I to do, what am I to do?

Because of those black eyes, I died

And now seeing them once again, I'm alive

Because of those black eyes I couldn't see (I couldn't see)

That, maybe, you were not meant for me

There wasn't such thing

As "you and me"

But was I, oh so tempted

To make it for you 1

There wasn't such thing

As "you and me"

But was I, oh so tempted

To make it for you

I dream of you, at the Havana (the Havana)

Tightly wrapped in each other's arms

And even if my name isn't Diana 2

You went straight for my heart (for my heart)

I'm beginning to think I'm invisible

To your black eyes

I want to shout at you, just so you turn your head

Even if it's just for a moment

For those black eyes

What am I to do, what am I to do? (babe)

For those black eyes

What am I to do?

Because of those black eyes, I died

And now seeing them once again, I'm alive

Because of those black eyes I couldn't see (I couldn't see)

That, maybe, you were not meant for me

There wasn't such thing

As "you and me"

But was I, oh so tempted

To make it for you

There wasn't such thing

As "you and me"

But was I, oh so tempted

To make it for you (make it for you)

I saw you once again

Even my feet were shaky

I tried to say: "how's it going?"

But everything was just my imagination

Because of those black eyes, I died (I died)

And now seeing them once again, I'm alive ( I'm alive, alive)

Because of those black eyes I couldn't see

That, maybe, you were not meant for me

What am I to do, what am I to do?

What am I to do, what am I to do?

1. here "Hacértelo" has a double meaning, it being "make love to you"2. a "diana" its also a bull's eye
