Tus ojos tienen, en sus destellos
Luz de mi vida, flama de amor
Y a todas horas sueño con ellos
Como embrujados por su esplendor
Miran a veces, tan promisores
Como el sentido de una pasión
Pero que engaño, tan ruboroso
Como alborada de la ilusión
Oh, vida traicionera que matas la ilusión
Deja que esta quimera viva en mi corazón
Ojos verdes que vi, bajo un Sol matinal
Y en mi huída perdí a una flor virginal
Quien pudiera llegar a lograr ese encanto
Y cubrir con su manto ideal, el amor, el altar
Tus ojos tienen, en sus destellos
Luz de mi vida, flama de amor
Y a todas horas sueño con ellos
Como embrujados por su esplendor
Miran a veces, tan promisores
Como el sentido de una pasión
Pero que engaño, tan ruboroso
Como alborada de la ilusión
¡Por ellos vivo! Y ansioso busco
Hacerlos míos, vana ilusión
Ya mis auroras se hicieron noches
Con desconsuelo del corazón
Dulce quimera que guarda el alma
Que alucinada quiere esperar de mi retiro
Será la calma, solo el recuerdo de tu mirar
