Lyrics
''Ojos azules no llores,''
''no llores ni te enamores.''
''Llorarás cuando me vaya,''
''cuando remedio ya no haya.''
''Tú me juraste quererme,''
''quererme toda la vida.''
''No pasaron dos, tres días,''
''tú te alejas y me dejas.''
''En una copa de vino''
''quisiera tomar veneno''
''veneno para matarme,''
''veneno para olvidarte.''
English translation
Blue eyes don't cry
Don't cry or fall in love
You will cry after I leave
When there is no more remedy
You swore to love me
Love me your entire life
Two, three days went by
You went away and left me
In a wine glass
I wish I could drink venom
Venom to kill myself
Venom to forget you
You'll cry when I go away.
