Hay Unos Ojos

written by Rubé–š Fuentes

Hay unos ojos que si me miran
Hacen que mi alma tiemble de amor
Son unos ojos tan primorosos
Ojos mé† lindos no he visto yo.

y!, quien pudiera mirarse en ellos
y!, quien pudiera besarlos mé†
Gozando siempre de sus destellos
Y no olvidarlos nunca jamé† .

Y todos dicen que no te quiero
Que no te adoro con frenes?
Y yo les digo que mienten, mienten
Que hasta la vida dar韆 por ti.

According to Mendoza, this ia a danza
habanera, a folk dance reflecting the Cuban
influence which was strong in Mexico
following the revolution of 1910. The
rhythm of this waltz has an elegantly
graceful nineteenth century Creole cadence.

There Are Some Eyes

written by Rubé–š Fuentes

There are some eyes which if they look at me
Make my soul tremble with love
There are some eyes so exquisite
Prettier eyes I have never seen.

Ay!, who could look at himself in them
Ay!, who could kiss them more
Enjoying always their sparkle
And never ever forgetting them.

And everyone says that I don't love you
That I don't adore you with a frenzy
And I tell them that they lie, they lie
That I would even give my life for you.
