I just can't get her out of my head . . .

Aquello oyos verdes

Fueron tus ojos los que me dieron
el tema dulce de mi canción,
tus ojos verdes, claros, serenos,
ojos que han sido mi inspiración.

Aquellos ojos verdes
de mirada serena,
dejaron en mi alma
eterna sed de amar;
anhelos de caricias
de besos y ternuras
de todas las dulzuras
que sabían brindar.

Aquellos ojos verdes
serenos como un lago
en cuyas quietas aguas
un día me miré,
no saben las tristezas
que a mi alma le dejaron
aquellos ojos verdes
que ya nunca besaré

Life held no charm, dear, until I met you
Love always seemed oh, so far a way.
Your eyes met mine now I can't forget you
Dark nights become as bright as the day.

Your Green Eyes with their soft lights.
Your Eyes that promise sweet nights
Bring to my soul a longing
A thirst for love divine.
In dreams I seem to hold you
To find you and enfold you
Our lips meet, and our hearts too,
with a thrill so sublime.

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes
A pool where in my love lies
so deep, that in my search-ing
For happiness, I fear
That they will ever haunt me
All through my life they'll taunt me
But will they ever want me
Green Eyes make my dreams come true.



Damn
 
Excellent, kotori...

My life - my understanding of love - was forever changed a few years back by a woman with green eyes. Pictures could not show them properly. Not one to attach special powers to those who have them, I still will not - cannot - every forget her, or what she taught me, or the magic that we shared.

You have beautiful eyes my friend. Peace, Tulips

Tulip, and your green eyes are simply gorgeous. I still see them when I think about you.

damn these hazelnuts:rolleyes:
Each has her own strenghts, perky. I could not find it in me to be who she thought I was, or at least not who she needed, so she moved on. Now what I have are the lessons and the memories...
I've never used ANY color, let alone eye-color, as a criteria in determining who is interesting. For that matter, since I'm in that oh-so-common brown/brown category I'm surely being overlooked by any women who are so inclined. I fell for her long before I thought about the color of her eyes, or hair, and like anybody who touches you that deeply I'll remember her long after my hair falls out and my eyes fail me.

Doesn't mean I've gone off to the seminary...

i like it, but the english and spanish don't match up :confused:
they're by separate lyricists.

A small club on seafront in San Juan, palm trees swaying in the breeze of the wee-small hours, almost everyone else gone home, the constant, distant sound of the surf, dancing, slowly, feeling the heat of each others breath, the band members all over 60--hey, he played with Tito Puente back in '47 . . .

(Thank you all for indulging in my daydream.)

From 1682, in DRYDEN's "Religio Laici":

[font=Garamond, Goudy]And still the nearer to the spring we go,
More limpid, more unsoiled, the waters flow.

thanks, LK

Always appreciate an earlier citation.
 
As someone that has green/hazel eyes, I agree that they are a great color. How I ended up with them is beyond me, but somehow I did.

There is an old song called "Looking Through the Eyes of Love"

In the eyes of the world
I'm a loser just wasting my time,
I can't make a dime,

In the eyes of the world,
Being born was my first big mistake,
Can't get a break,

But in the eyes of my woman I stand like a hero,
A giant, a man who's as tall as can be,
Any fool can see that she's

Looking through the eyes of love
She's looking through the eyes of love
She's looking through the eyes of love when she looks at me,

In the eyes of the crowd
I'm a do nothing kind of a guy,
Who'll just live and die,

In the eyes of the crowd,
I'm another poor Joe on the street,
Can't get on my feet,

But in the eyes of my woman they're wrong,
I'm a king and a lover strong and as brave as can be,
Any fool can see that she's,

Looking through the eyes of love
She's looking through the eyes of love
She's looking through the eyes of love when she looks at me,

She's makin' me believe someday, someday I'm gonna find a way
To be the man that she can see when she looks at me,
Looking through the eyes of love,
She's looking through the eyes of love
She's looking through the eyes of love
 
Nice eyes Lobito.

Mine are kind of dark green with gray rings around the iris. But bloodshot these days. LOL
 
Thanks April, if I recall correctly, that was at about 2am, after a night of tequila drinking. I've got those terrible yellowish rings around my eyes though. :(
