Lyrics of Aqueles olhos verdes - Milton Nascimento

Aqueles olhos verdes (original)

Aqueles olhos verdes
Translúcidos serenos
Parecem dois amenos
Pedaços do luar
Mas têm a miragem
Profunda do oceano
E trazem todo o engano
Das procelas do mar
Aqueles olhos verdes
Que inspiram tanta calma
Entraram em minh’alma
Encheram-na de dor
Aqueles olhos tristes
Pegaram-me tristeza
Deixando-me a crueza
De tão infeliz amor
Aquellos ojos verdes
Serenos como un lago
En cuyas quietas aguas
Un día me miré
No saben las tristezas
Que en mi alma han dejado
Aquellos ojos verdes
Que yo nunca besaré

(translation)

those green eyes
serene translucent
They look like two nice ones
pieces of moonlight
But they have a mirage
deep of the ocean
And they bring all the deception
Of sea storms
those green eyes
That inspire so much calm
They entered my soul
They filled her with pain
those sad eyes
got me sadness
Leaving me the rawness
of so unhappy love
those green eyes
Serene as a lake
In the quiet waters
One day me miré
Don't know the sorrows
That my soul has left
those green eyes
That you will never kiss
