Jeanette - El Muchacho de los Ojos Tristes (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Not a simple smile
Nor a little light in your deep eyes
Not even reflection of some thought that cheers his world
There is sadness in his eyes; talking, quiet and dancing with me
A distant sorrow that comes to my soul and becomes affectionate

[Chorus]
The man with the sad eyes
Lives alone and needs love
Like the air needs to see me
Like the sun, I need him
The man with the sad eyes
He’s finally found a reason
To make his gaze laugh
With my kisses and great love

[Verse 2]
I don’t even know his name
And I want to meet him alone again
And in his autumn eyes
Sleeping little by little, forgetting the hours
I pretend to know this strange reason
Today his eyes don’t laugh
I intend to achieve
With tenderness and love to see his eyes happy
[Chorus]
The man with the sad eyes
Lives alone and needs love
Like the air needs to see me
Like the sun, I need him
The man with the sad eyes
He’s finally found a reason
To make his gaze laugh
With my kisses and great love

[Outro]
The man with the sad eyes
Lives alone and needs love
Like the air needs to see me
Like the sun, I need him
