# Ojos azules (song)

Ojos azules, is a "taquirari" (traditional bolivian folklore) registered in 1947 by the Bolivian composer Gilberto Rojas Enriquez. The Peruvian composer Manuel Casazola Huancco was also erroneously attributed as the author of the song. According to investigations about the origin of the song, it was originally known as "Ojos bonitos" (Pretty Eyes), a traditional Peruvian huayno from Cuzco. The song remains popular in the repertoire of Andean music groups from Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina.

## 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.
