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.
