Alegres Eran Mis Ojos (o La Flor Del Olvido)
Violeta Parra
My Eyes Were Happy (or The Flower of Forgetfulness)
My eyes were happy
But they stayed sad
When least expected
You left my side
I nurtured a hope
But you didn't reciprocate
Oh oh oh oh
But you didn't reciprocate
Oh oh oh oh
You left my side
On top of a mountain
I went to ask the winds
About my ungrateful little dove
That flew into the skies
Neither tears nor sighs
Were advised by the thunder
Oh oh oh oh
Advised by the thunder
Oh oh oh oh
That flew into the skies
Forgetting is a flower
It doesn't bloom for just anyone
It will bloom for you
Messenger dove
Take it from the corolla
And enjoy your whole life
Oh oh oh oh
And enjoy your whole life
Oh oh oh oh
Messenger dove
Ungrateful bad payer
Trunk of all its branches
Branches of all its flowers
Gets married in one morning
If I had sensed it
I wouldn't have given you my soul
Oh oh oh oh
I wouldn't have given you my soul
Oh oh oh oh
Gets married in one morning
Oh oh oh oh
I wouldn't have given you my soul
Oh oh oh oh
Gets married in one morning
Oh oh oh oh
I wouldn't have given you my soul
Oh oh oh oh
Gets married in one morning
