Leaning on the edge of my latticework window
I looked as the May night light up.
The air smelled like carnations and tuberoses
when you stopped your horse in front of my door.
Serrana, can you give me fire
and I said 'gaché'
Come here and take it from my lips
because I'm gonna give you fire.
You left your horse and I gave you light
and your eyes were two green May stars for me.
Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat and green green lemon.
Green eyes, green with a 'faca' glow
that have been nailed to my heart.
For me there is no more sun, stars, or moon
there is nothing but two eyes that are my life.
Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat and green green lemon.
I saw in your eyes, the sun come up
and the candel was as sad as ever.
When you left, my mouth
had a mint and cinnamon taste.
Serrana, I want to gift you a dress.
I told you, you don't have to buy me anything.
You got on your horse and you left me
and never again have I lived a more beautiful May night.
Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat and green green lemon.
Green eyes, green with a 'faca' glow
that have been nailed to my heart.
For me there is no more sun, stars, or moon
there is nothing but two eyes that are my life.
Green eyes, green like basil
Green like green wheat and green green lemon.
